I confirmed the same "Rewards program" and Voices in background and the last 4 he indicated were accurate when I what this was for he hung up....this has happened twice on consecutive days...same question and response...it has become a irritation but I'll be ready if they call again...give em a differnt approach with my questioning may work...Virginia has 1 party consent phone recording :P (Note: I did inquire thru the web about Government grants program found that they had "Signed me up" and cancelled within the requird time and have three confirmation numbers for this action. The site had 3 different services that would be billing my account monthly if I had not cancelled).
The caller id themselves as a consumer rewards "something". They had the last four digits on my visa card as well as my phone number. Where did they get that? Anyway, after the speil they asked me to hang on the line to speak to the "mailroom". I could hear lots of voices talking. Then they wanted to verify my address and told me it would be recorded. This person read my entire address and then told me that they would be sending me $100 rebate that I could use to purchase things..along with some other things to "consider" at the cost of "shipping and handling" today. Then they would charge my VISA 29.95 a month unless I called back in 30 seconds to cancel. He quickly said 2 phone numbers to use to call which if you weren't ready to write them down you couldn't. I told him I wanted to cancel RIGHT NOW! He asked me WHY I had agreed to talk to the MAIL ROOM...and I said that I WAS TOLD TO STAY ON THE LINE. He got very upset and didn't like the fact that I said, I WANT IT RECORDED THAT I DO NOT WANT THIS SENT TO MY ADDRESS. WHY don't I want this...I said, because I didn't get a chance to say anything to the first caller and because everytime I agree to something like this..I GET STUCK.
Yes, I got phone calls from the same number over and over again. The guy did get upset that I did not want their offer.
Sometimes, they use a 866 number and rotate tele-marketers.
the last time they called me; I answered and I overheard some guy say -- don't talk to that "bumbaclot"
(most Jamaicans use it as a substitute for the word f*ck to express anger )
THIS A SCAMMM !!!! STAY AWAY
you will see similar stuff for grant to start your business on the web. There are NO GRANTS issued to start businesses.
missed the call and when i called back i couldn't get through for a while, and when i finally did i just got a recording that said something about they're calling to approve charges... does anyone know if i can still get charged?
