Received several calls on my cell from the number listed below with no message. When I dialed the number the party on the other end picked up and hung up. They would not answer the phone.
got a call from this person and they knew my name and address and said I won a sweetstakes I ask her how and she hung up. when I tried to call back it was no answer. what are the people up too.
Wicked shady...received the same call from the same number and I didn't answer the phone, but they didn't leave a message. And, I'm already registered on the Do Not Call Registry. I called the number back and someone did answer and gave me the same shpiel described in previous comments - sweepstakes -- phone # was given to them by my bank or credit card and wanted to confirm my address for the May 31 drawing in case I "win"...riggghhhht. When I told them I was on the Do Not Call Registry, they said, "Oh, I'm sorry about that. Let me get your name so I can remove you." And, I said "not going to happen" and hung up. How do I report them?
Thanks for that link (I read your comment too quickly!) I filed a complaint and also informed them that this # has been complained about several times yet they're still getting away with it.
I just got my second call - only it is from another number - 310-539-7196. The first time I was at work and didn't answer it. No message left. Then they call about a half hour ago - said that they were from Publishers Association and I had been registered in a sweepstake by my bank in the area because I am a good customer. They already had my name and address - were going to send me magazines - I never said anything, just listened. Then they said that if I won, they wanted to make sure it wouldn't be a financial hardship paying the taxes - I again kept quiet. She wanted to know my monthly income - wouldn't give it to her. Then she asked about the weather here. Told me I was going to be sent a diamond necklace. I told her "unfortunately I don't believe a word you are telling me". She said "okay - have a blessed day". And hung up. I tried calling my police department to report this - but only a certain person takes the information, and he is off till Tuesday. I will call then. I also purchased the PedEgg, but got it at a local Bed, Bath and Beyond.
