I received a call from this number as well on my cell phone, I did not answer it and just Googled the number with this site coming up in Google search results. I have Life-lock so I dare them to mess with my information, they will get caught and we can find out who these perpetrators are.
Caller said my name was selected from a drawing that would be held on December 31. She then said I would get 3 magazines for 48 months. She told me my address and then said she needed some personal information. She went on to say what is your age.....etc. I wouldn't answer and said why do you need that and she hung up on me.
The lady who called asked for me by name and proceeded to say I had been entered into a drawing that would be held in Florida on 5/31/08 by the credit card companies who gave them a list of their 'preferred' customers. I knew then it was a lie...my credit SUCKS! She told me in the sweetest voice that all she needed was to verify my address. I then said to her that the call sounded 'fishy' to me. She immediately changed her tone to a very cruel one and as she was hanging up on me said "whatever"!
I received a call from a young lady that said I was entered in a sweepstakes by my credit card company because I was a prefered customer. I asked her which credit card company and she said she didn't have that information. I told her I did not enter any sweepstakes nor do I want to be entered into any sweepstakes. She said she can't do anything about my being entered into the sweepstakes, but she would remove me from her calling list. This just has scam written all over it.
I received the exact same phone call - a woman saying I was entered in a sweepstakes by my credit card company or bank. Also told me she didn't know from which credit card company or bank my information came from. She wanted to confirm my address. It was correct but I did not confirm so she proceeded to make up a story about visiting Chicago - it was so clearly scripted/fictional - very strange.
