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.
I have been receiving these calls for a few days now, with no message on voicemail. When I eventually answered the call, I was asked to conform my zip code by answering either yes ore no to the number they gave. I confirmed it by saying yes. BIG MISTAKE !!!! I was then transferred to another guy who suffered from monotonous verbal daihrrea and would not stop talking. I told him that God had given him one mouth and two ears and he should use them in that proportion. I told him that I wished to cancel the taking of $29.95 from my bank account each month, to which he said, when eventually I shouted him down, that I could not do that because I had already said yes (presumably by my confirming my zip code). They must have got my bank card details from an on-line purchase of a Superwave oven I made a couple of weeks ago. I have made sure that these debits from my bank account do not take place, but they had better watch out if they try it again.
This number called me, offering free gas coupons. They had my debit card number and expiration. I told them that they could not charge my card, and they hung up on me. A blocked? (000-000-0000) number called me back, and proceeded to tell me that they have recordings of me saying "yes" (it must have been when they asked if they were speaking to <insert my full name here>), and that they were charging my card. After telling the gentlemen (also on a recorded line) 30 or 40 times that he did not have authorization to charge my card, he insisted that he was anyhow, and hung up. I called my bank to get a new debit card. Shame that it came to that, but if they can make one charge.... what's to stop them from cleaning me out?
Same as Kyra. Just kept saying they were from Visa. Wanted to give me $120 in gas card credit. I hung up on them when they wanted $2.95. They did know the city I lived in but did not mention the last 4 digits of my card. Also mentioned I would get some other discount on stores I already shop at, etc.
Called about getting a gas card just like other folks I read about and a charge of $2.95 was to be inmposed. I told them 3 times not to send me anything that I was not interested.
They called me numerous times.....I called the number said something about a shipment...which I am actually waiting for a furniture shipment...so they next time they called I ansered. Some black lady said the same speel as above....gas cards ets...they knew the last 4 digits of my credit card, a card that I haven't used in 2 months. I told her I wasn't interested. She said "wow you must be loaded then huh", I said and please take me off your list, she said" ummm.. yeah Im not going to do that!" I just hung up. I put my number on the do not call registery and I also reported my card as stolen. I just can't risk it. This was yesterday....no calls today thus far.......
