This number showed up as HEARST INC The woman asked for me by first name. I said who is speaking? She said a Pblishing Company. And then I said which one? She hung up and I did a reverse phone look up, Thank you Spokeo!
She said it was a call from Publisher Clearing House. Asked a lot of weird questions and said my bank or credit card company entered me. (Dont have a credit card) When she was trying to verify my address she suppliedd me with my boyfriends address (which I have never givin to any such company). When i asked where that address came from she was very rude and anwered with "I don't know a you" and hung up on me.
I have been getting calls from this number. Didn't answer it because I knew it was a telemarketing call. I am on the DNC List and still get calls. Caller ID said the company was PS.
also received a weird call from this number, the girl was rude to me and hung up when I mentioned I had already got a call from Publisher's Headquarters. They said it was a Dreams Come True Sweepstakes, I was entered by either my bank or credit card company, and I could win one of several prizes on March 31, 2008. I am begining to believe my cell phone number (even though I am on the do not call list) got sold to telemarketers after I ordered a product advertised on TV (that is a whole other story!)
The other number was 310-370-9172, which is also reported on this site for the same thing. She told me I won a bunch of Magazines and because I was a semi-finalist in the contest.
