called and told me a was eligible for $100 gift card for free, all i had to do was pay $2.95 s&h fee. told them to remove me from thier list. an hour and half later, they called me back. when i answered hello, nobody was on the other end right away. all i heard was background voices, it was nothing but spanish. both callers were hard to understand due to heavy spanish accent
Try this: If YOU call the number, you get an automated message that allows you to place your number on their no-call list. You don't have to give any info about yourself except your phone number. It's been working for me.
This is a scam phishing for your credit card number. It's interesting how they ask for a lot of key information over the course of the call, not all at once. They work to confuse you just enough that you might give them something you shouldn't. It goes like this...
They have $100 certificate for me - which of four stores would I like it from - when I shop at that store, how do I pay - do I have the credit card with me I like to use - when does it expire - they want to mail my gift card - what is my middle initial - what's my address - what are the last four digits of my credit card number - there's a handling fee to receive the card, but I don't have to pay it now, just give them a credit card number - I refuse - they tell me to "get lost". They call back the next day - I tell them I'm on their no-call list, and I'll sue them senseless if they call me at work again. I never hear from them again after three weeks.
This number keeps calling me but there is no ID and I don't answer unknown calls. No message is left either so no way to figure out what the call is about. Very annoying!
i had a reusable fone, due that i am disabled in a wheelchair from spinal cancer. i answered and they drained my minutes. also my friend also answered her fone and was charged $75.oo on her bill. she contacted verizon they told her that it is legal for a company/person can set up an account that calls cell numbers and to charge people a answering fee what ever they want to. please do not answer any fone numbers you dont know...
