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!
WOW, I was a finalist in a Juicy Fruit contest that 1 of my credit card companies had entered me in. She didn't know which credit card, just kept repeating I was entered because I was such a good customer. Barely use them. The winner would be notified by mail said she needed to verify my information. I told her if a credit card company had entered me they would have my address. She hung up.
A lady called from publishers clearing house stating that I was a finalist in a competition. She tried to give me a diamond watch (yeah right) and then tried to sell me some magazines. I called publishers clearing house to confirm that I was a finalist and that the call was a valid attempt from the actual company. They said they know nothing about the promotion and that the call was a scam. If you receive further calls from this number don't answer- and certainly don't give your credit card information. (thankfully I declined to buy magazines)
I received a call from this number saying I was a finalist in a Dreams Come True Sweepstakes. I asked who entered me in the sweepstakes and she said that my credit card company entered me since I was a valued customer. The lady said I could win $25,000, a free trip to Australia, and a new car. I told her that it sounded like a scam and she hung up on me.
female called to tell me that I had won things from publishers clearing house ... tried to verify my add. and such! still calling inspite of me requesting to b taken off the list.
