I just got a call from this number. They asked for me by first name and I asked who was calling? The lady on the phone was very rude and said "Well are you Erica?" I said "who's calling?" again and she again repeated very rudely "Well are you Erica or not?" I said where are you calling from? and she said " Ugh. Publishers"! (something or other) I hung up and they kept calling back. I did not answer. I then tried to call back to see who would answer but phone was busy. I then started looking online regarding this number and came across this. I'm sure its a scam. they scammed one of my friend's mom (older lady) like this. They just called her to confirm her name and address and they told her that they were going to send her a package she won through mail. When they received the package they decided they might be being scammed so decided to return it unopened. The people then started calling her back telling her that they were sue her because she came into a verbal contract with them that she would get package and open it. and now they wanted for her to at least pay the shipping costs that they had spent sending it to her ($175.00 according to them) Then they had a supposive lawyer calling them telling them that he was hired by that company and she was being sued. They kept harassing her until she changed her number. Like I said she never gave them any info except for her address. The number was from Florida.
I just got a call from this number too on my cell phone and my cell phone is not a published phonenumber. I asked who is this, she replied "Publishers Sweepstake" and you just won - I could not remember the rest. I plead with her "DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER AGAIN". I am in state of PA and this is a CA number, LA. The only reason I answered is that I have an relative in CA at and thought it could be an emergency. My cell phone number is only for emergencies. I believed it was a scammed too, especially when she said something about you are eligible for a credit card.
i just received this call yesterday. OMGGGGG!!! this lady was so rude. i was trying wen i called and i almost got into an accident because i was shocked at how rude she was. i called my cell phone provider and had her block. there should be something done about her!!!!
The lady was nice to me until I called her back wanting to know what is this. I rang the number back to see what the name of the company was and when it rang, the same young lady answered the phone ==hello. with music in the background like it was her house phone. no company name. when i asked her to take me off of her calling list she wanted to know what my name was. I gave her the number she just called and she said she can't use that she needs my name. When I told her I don't have any credit cards, she told ME what I have...... She knew my address and I confirmed it. What is this I wonder. Hope it really is sweepstakes!!! and not a sweep me out!! LOL
i just received a call from this number. they had my name and address something about publishers and that my bank had submitted my name for a sweepstakes. i gave no information as they already had my address. weird!!!!!!
