My first name in unusual and they could not pronounce it. When that happens, I know it is not somebody I deal with . I said that person wasn't there and they hung up. I don't have any business with anyone at 239 area code.
This number has been calling me for the last 4 days, and never leaving messages.
Yesterday I called it. (Was put on hold for a few minutes first) When I asked why I was getting calls they said that I had gotten a free gift from an online survey that I filled out. I said 'cool' and then she started to ask me which company did I want my $1000 gift card from (Walmart, Target, Babies R Us and a few others). I picked one and then she said that I had fulfilled the first two requirements for the card. The third was to sign up for subscriptions to five magazines at some (in my opinion) ridiculous price. I then said that I don't remember the surveys ever saying anything about magazines. She dodged the questions and started to ask for my information. No where in this had she asked for my name or anything to show that I was actually the 'winner'. I told her I didn't want magazines and wasn't interested. She said thank you and hung up.
This all kind of screamed scam to me.
