This is a scam. Recieved many calls from this number. No message, nobody on other end of line when answered. Called the number back and finally got a hold of someone and they gave me a hard time about em calling them. His name is Anthony and he had the nerve to ask me when the last time somebody called my number and then asked how did I get their number? I said it came in as UNKNOWN owner but ID showed number. The prick did not believe me. How else would I get their number, DUH!?! He asked when was the last time they called and I said 7 minutes ago and again he said could not have happened. He would do some research on what is going on. I in turn asked him what was the name of the company he was representing and he said it is some like "My gift registry" or something close to that. He basically was pretty nasty and I got nasty back. It is getting reported !!!
I got a call around 2 pm, they called that me or my family has entered and won some contest....Yet we never did, I knew It was a huge scam to collect your info and I hung up.
I rec'd a call from this number, said hello and the person wouldn't say anything. I could hear a lot of people talking and laughing in the back ground. The person then said hello. I said hello two more times with no response while listening to people carry on a conversation. The caller seemed to know I was there but was pretending I wasn't. I hung up.
I received a 2 minute voice mail about a trip I won but I mistakes meet a certain criteria which I meet none of. I never entered the supposed contest & never give out my number so they illegally purchased my phone number. I am on the DNC list as well so I am working on shutting them down until they open a new scam.
I had the same number call me both yesterday and today, no voicemail, but today I answered. First off, the girl seems like she's never held a conversation over the telephone before. Then the same about a trip I won. I said I never entered any contest and it was the first I'd heard of it. She gave up pretty easily. I just hope they don't start calling every day.
I received the same type of call in Birmingham. After the initial telemarketer, a closer tried to book me for an appointment at the local DirectBuy store. I found the following inside information posted on the web by one of their telemarketers

He says you can opt out by "By the way you MUST simply MUST when we call you tell us to put you on the no call list if you dont want to be bothered." and to avoid yelling at them etc. Hope this helps
