I got a call today from 1-310-370-9486 and did not answer as i did not recognize the number. This is my work cell phone and I am on call 24/7. I decided to look it up and here I am on this site. I tried calling back to see if I could get some info from them and first time I got through they picked it up and hung up. After several calls that were busy, I got the message that the "wireless customer is unavailable". I would love to find out as much about this person as Arizona has no tolerance for phone scams, especially over the cell phone. I do not have a home phone for this reason.
I would love to get what I can about this person(s) and turn them over to the State Attorney General to see their thoughts. Too many scams going on in this world and one less is a victory for all of us. Please add any additional info that anyone can drum up.
I just received a call from 310-370-9486 yesterday 5-21-2008 with the caller identify herself as "Kaye"? from Publisher's Headquarters in LA, CA. The caller ID said: OKeefe, H&K, Redondo Beach, CA.
She asked and identified me by my name. The phone number called is not my house or my phone account and, therefore, is not listed under my name. There is no phone listing for my name. I usuallly give my cell phone number for my things!
She said she just wanted to verify my address. I DID NOT GIVE HER ANY INFORMATION BUT She had my correct address and gave it to me to verify. She said I was to be receiving a certified letter regarding a sweepstakes. She claimed that was all the information on me she had and she did try to sell me magazines which I declined. She did not pressure me and said that was fine.
HAS ANYONE HAD ANY REAL PROBLEMS OR IDENTITY THEFT RESULTING FROM THIS CALL? HAS ANYONE EVER RECEIVED ANY CERTIFIED MAIL????
May 20, 2008 I receive the same call. Although I didn't give any info., she had my home phone (not listed under me) and my address and wanted verification so as to send a certified letter. HAVE YOU HAD ANY REAL PROBLEMS, IDENTITY THEFT or RECEIVE ANY MAIL RESULTING FROM THIS CALL? (I posted my story on this site under N, Nevada)
I received a very similar phone call, I verified my name and address. They said my bank entered me into this contest. Since I recently switched banks I called the bank to verify. They said I would be receiving a registered letter and a free watch (forget how it was described). They tried to sell me some magazines and I told them I work 12 hour days and do not have time to read (true); then they asked about my husband, I told them he does not read. We became disconnected. The call came in on my cell phone but it was a different phone number from yours it is 562-432-6283.
I was at work, so I wasn't around my phone to answer it. I am in the military and work with people from all over the world. I checked the phone list for the shop I work in, and the phone number didn't match anybody, so I did a reverse search. I tried to find out more about who had called me, thinking it might've been somebody military related. I also tried calling the number back, but I got a busy signal.
