I gor a call from this number and they dont say anything and just hang up. I called the number and a recording comes on to verify the number that you are calling from and press 1 or to enter another number and when you do it just hangs up.
what is this all about?
First call was at 1923hrs CDT tonite from 571-261-0012, caller ID showed Removal DNC and then calls from this 240 area code same on caller ID. No msgs left although last called was at 2143. Has anyone heard of a company by this name?
I got the same call from that same number, and it said on caller id 240-699-8981 , when i answered i said "hello" then a recorded womans voice said "Sorry about that my mistake."
Rec'd call tonight on my Sprint/NEXTEL cell phone... left voice mail stating that they were from Sweepstake Promotions and left a voicemail stating that I was a winner in a vehicle sweepstake... and I had won a "major prize" told me to call 800-991-7536. From reading the previous posts, it is certainly a robodialer looking to scam people for thier personal identification information in order to commit ID theft. I'm sure if I call the 800 number, they will be asking for my name, DOB, SSN... a few minutes later they called my wife's Sprint/NEXTEL cell phone as well... I answered it this time and got the same message that they left on my voicemail. Sounds like some robodialer got a hold of the Sprint/NEXTEL phone list for the Gainesville, Florida market...
My wife received a call from this number, they identified themselves as one of my health care providers and told her my credit card had expired. She wisely told them I would call them back later. When I called back to am automatic answering device which repeated my number, asking press 1 or 2, then when 1 pressed they repeated my numbser and a voice said "this number is deleated"
