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 received a call from 2694772157 asking if I would like to get a coupon rebate for a purchase of $117.73, an amount I was invalidly charged by EZ Moves, 866-649 0118. A man, calling himself John, and identifying himself as being from my credit card company, asked me for my age. I told him I would not tell him. He asked if I were over 18. I said: "Yes." I also told him I was cynical about his call, because any credit card rebates always reduced my liability. I was called five times. I ignored all the calls except for call five. The calls were placed at various times on 07-01-11 & on 07-02-11.
I received a call from 269-477-2157 2 times. I answered the 2nd one. They told me they had gas vouchers worth $200 for me and stated the last 4 digits of my debit card #. He said it would cost $2.95 to send the vouchers. I asked him how they got my #, name and last 4 digits of my card and he said....I made a purchase online. I hung up on them.
Haven't heard anything back and have not seen suspicious charges on my card.
Do not answer calls from this #. It has to be a phishing scam.
This number has been calling me non stop since this morning. I know no one from this area code. I blocked the previous number they had been calling me from and now this one shows up on my phone. Will it ever stop??
Go on-line and register this number with the Federal Trade Commission.

Make sure you list your telephone number in the do not call registry and if they do call you make sure you notify them to remove your name from their list. Try to obtain their name, business address. Write your state attorney general with this information also. Keep a cool head. For more info you can visit www.todaysplaces.com
Go to the DO NOT CALL registry. Sign up and whenever something like this happens file a complaint. I had the same call for two nights in a row and have filed complaints both times.
