Have received several calls today from "Y CONFIRM ORDERS". The telephone number on my caller ID is 1-269-477-2157. I have received these calls before but never answered them. Out of curiosity I called the number back and the message was that they were calling me to confirm my order but not to worry if I missed their call they would send the order anyway. Haven't ordered anything recently so I figured it was a mistake. When they called back again I answered the call. A very loud voice asked for me by name and proceeded to tell me that because of a "recent purchase" I had made I was going to receive a VISA card for $125 in gas rewards. He began to ask me questions that made me believe he was phishing for information. I told him that I was not comfortable with any of this and that I was going to report this call as a scam and then hung up the phone. I believe this to be a scam and by the questions the caller was asking identity theft would have been the outcome.
Received several calls from this number today. I read other reports about this number and answered. They hook you with the offer of a free gas card in order to sign you up for a program called. Smart shoppers Savings and another, which will cost you $29.95 /month if you want to keep it. I don't think it is a scam, but I do know that these things are very hard to get out of once you accept them. I politely declined to the telemarketer, asked her to remove my number from their call list and told her I would be reporting their number to the FCC and she quickly thanked me and hung up.
You don't have to be rude to get what you want. Just smart and decent. Truth always wins.
Repeatedly called my cell phone for the last 4 days, I never got an
answer till today. The young Lady was courteous but seeing that
I had laid down to take a nap and was really into one of those delightful
seldom occurring dreams, I was not the most happy camper when I
answered the phone. The young lady came on the phone, and Hence I began
my retort." Hello? Oh you decided to pick up your phone for 14th time
in the last 3 hours? You wish to speak to me then do so. The young lady then
went into her spiel about my having made a recent purchase with my VISA Card,
I quickly retorted, " Darlin I know your trying to make some money to
support yourself but I don't have any desire to buy what your selling so
please put me on your do not call list". She returned , "But aren't you interested
in free gas coupons? " I said , " Nope, and didn't your Mama ever teach you,
nothing comes for free? She said, " UH Uh!" I said, "Have a Nice Day"!
They called me 8 times today. I didn't answer and called the number back and it said it was just confirming shipment of your order.(I haven't ordered anything) It's really freaking me out especially after reading these.
