After calling back, a girl answered with "hello". Said that my number was drawn to be notified by mail of a chance to win 20,000 dollars and that i was to be notified by mail and she needed to verify my address. Catch was, she didnt "have my paperwork in front" of her, and could I just give her my address? I asked how she got my number, and she told me it was either from my bank or credit card company for being a preferred customer.
I saw calls coming in from this number for days. I finally dialed back. They tried to hard sell me on a "coupon pack including $40 of free gas". I told them I live in NYC and don't have a car. Then they got offended and wouldn't listen to me. I asked FOUR TIMES to be removed from their list. They pleaded with me to send the coupon pack to my address at XXX Street in anywhere, USA and they could bill any future packages I would like to purchase using my credit card that had the last four digits of ####.
That's when I realized they got my contact info from a purchase I had made of a "Bender Ball" so I could do sit-ups while traveling.
I asked again to be removed. The guy sounded perturbed.
One month later, I started getting phone calls again. SO BEWARE.
I have been getting calls from this number and so I looked it up online and saw all of these complaints. I never put the 2 together, but I did start receiving these after I purchased a bender ball for someone. If this is how they got my information, I will be calling them and reporting them to the BBB.
receive a call am found out this company is not up front ,wanted to sell me something ,then said I ordered something they wanted to send me but they wanted my address. I told them not to be calling me cause I am reporting them to home land SEC. they hung up.
