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 her name was Cassy from "Unlimited Readers" she told me i won a diamond watch, a pot set and a bunch of magazines for 6 months. she asked me some question and told me that i was qualified to win some prizes on the 31/12/12.she said that my bank had enter me in the sweepstake, i normally shop online so i thought ok cool.she said that her manager is going to call me back to rate her on the phone call to put in a good word for her so i said ok. In a few seconds the phone rang the manager said her name was Mary she ask about Cassy and told me about the magazines but then she told me i had to pay $3.19 every week to received the magazines,she then asked me for my credit card # from that point i knew it was a scam so i told her i don't have my card on me, she was like "oh thats ok i just need your expire date " i said i can't remember it then she said well who do you bank with so i said shouldn't you know that! you have my name and address you said you got it from my bank why would you ask who i bank with she hung up. the called from 3105401809, 3105434330 and 3105433232
Same as everyone else, free diamond watch and free magazines but i had to buy 3 subscriptions at $3 something a week for 2 years. she had my address, said i was entered by my credit card company, then asked me which one i use. I told her one that i didn't even own. I kept telling her that i thought it was a scam she kept reassuring me that it wasn't. i ended the conversation with saying that she was welcome to send me all the free stuff she wanted but i wasn't going to buy anything including the subscription. She hung up, lol.
I live in Canada.
It was basically the same thing... telling me i can win some big amount of money and a diamond watch
she knew my FULL name
my address
my birthday
and asked me my credit card company
She told me I would be suscribed to readers digest and i said no and she said ok no problem i'll just give you a diamond watch then... and she said hold on i will transfer you to my manager. i knew it was a scam but i held on for about 5 mins and no one replied back.
Then just today the SAME lady called me again. It was obvious by her voice. accent (philipino) and name... and when i said she did this last week she denied it and i said i'm not interested in scams so she closed the phone.
