I just received the same phone call, my agents name was Cheryl, and I was told I had one the basic prize's and was being entered into the grand prize drawing. I too called my credit card company and they had never heard of this company either. I ignored the second call.
Phone rang, caller ID was this number, I did not answer. Looked up phone number on this site and found out it's a magazine subscription SCAM. I'm very thankful for this site!
Hello.. My name is Tony. One person who uses this phone line has no account. I allege.. though I have proof.. they have been hacking my hardline for a period of almost eight years. They slow down my computer.. it is fast.. but when they cut my line with theirs speed is reduced by 2 to three times.
With my hard line hacked they get my signal before I do! They get what I send in e mail.. voice.. and faxes if so programmed.
I am prosecuting them for rights violations.. claiming.. and suing for if necessary.. recompense for half my communications costs for those stressful years... I have them blocked on my cell.. and my computer is useless in anything requiring privacy.
Of course.. they say.. "I not listen'.. yeah.. they cannot ask me.. they will violate my right to privacy.. and I can trust them?... trust is hard enough in this old world.. I have run ohm meters with specific ohms indicating a tap.. etc.
A tip.. major providers have their own skeletons.. in some very complicated closets.. their company.. (in the case of Verizon) or corporate priorities.. in cases of others.. despite the title and skill of 'security'.. are public relations.. and cash.. they have to issue a complaint to local authorities to get response from same.. that is for fraud charges levied by the provider against the perp.
I was a radio operator in the USAF.. working an aero station.. tower.. and doing Airborn Radio Op.. duties. I left the service a five level.
In the sixties for a short time I worked for the phone company as a framer. Not much has really changed.. save the advent of computers for civilians and miniaturization of equipment..
Hell.. I built a radio from a 'kit' when I was eight years old for a cub scout merit badge. I know when a line is crossing miine and where it goes. I am prosecuting these li'l darlings.. for violation of privacy.. collusion.. conspiracy.. and a host of other charges relevant to FCC.. Consumer affairs.. state and federal constitutional violations.. and so on.
The feds are necessary to stop frustrated local law enforcement from illegally 'tapping' our phones wholesale.. police agencies think.. in their difficult profession.. the bill of rights is in their way.. nothing could be further from the truth.. they experience.. as are certain cultures.. long years.. to centuries when such rights where ignored for grievous discrimination from ignorance.. greed.. culminating in bigotry.. such has political purpose for those who have poor constituents.. giving them a 'comparison'.. that satisfies only those drunk or dizzy lost.. If someone tells you what they are doing is legal.. behind a jack.. a low cost service etc..
I would suggest you type in the name of your state in the search bar.. then 'wiretap laws'.. same thing with federal.. FCC.. and so on.. these things require an account with a solid provider to function legally.. (either that.. or permission from the account holder in writing).. these folks appear to prefer to steal.. kind of a drag.. socially awkward and awful.. they try to corrupt others.. offering 'deals' that seem to cover their criminality..
DO NOT BE FOOLED.. YOUR RIGHTS UNDER FEDERAL.. STATE CONSTITUTIONS AND STATUTES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR RIGHTS.. DESPITE ANY ADVENT.. OF ANY TECHNOLOGY.. IT IS ANOTHER TOOL...
One of the largest.. if not the largest legal organization there is.. the ACLU.. is right in line with human rights.. civil rights..(the social arm of necessary living rights).. these things of privacy and free expression on primal..
You are born to this world.. if born to this world in the U.S. there is an advantage of legal precedent to protect you as an individual.. this is one thing none should be lazy.. or apathetic about.. it protects us from our own species.. when folks become frustrated.. or abuse power in civil service positions..
The tenets of our country are a Free.. Egalitarian.. society.. with privacy and expression uncensored.. let us keep these goals until attained and appreciated by all..
Peace Tony.. (Anthony H. Capper.. cryinforthedyin.wordpress.com
Hello.. As a matter of general security procedure.. I keep my 'pin'.. SS.. bank acct.. and anything private.. right down to my address.. private.. used on as few sites as possible. With bank transactions I use one system.. my bank's. There are a plethora of reasons for doing this.. staying as simple as possible.. keeping specific records and hard copy.. folks just do not pay attention.. what used to be a 'given'.. is now considered exemplary in job performance. Seems they have made too many of our youth overspecialized corporate tools.. a shame.. a waste.. and a challenge for them.. and education.. those with good educations are more confident.. are not as easily fooled by 'another good plan'.. Peace Tony
Scam a person named Cheryl said I was nominated by my bank or the credit card company. The Dreams come true sweepstakes and they would send me a watch. I asked more questions and they wanted my Debit card and when I said nobody gets tha number they hung up. I called the number back several times and let it ring with no answer.
