Just got a call today on my cell phone, from publishers headquarters, said my name was submitted by my credit card companies and i was one of 500 finalists. she knew my address, and i verified it, she asked my age, marital status and occupation, and said to be non taxable did i make x-amount of dollars and i said no. she said i would be getting 6 magazines for 48 months for free - cosmo, glamour, etc etc, and i could change them if i wanted to. she said she was verifying information from me for my drawing application. and if i won , would be notified by mail. i am suspicious about the call, but i did not provide any more info than she already had......so is there any danger? Am I in danger? I hope not.
This afternoon. Very nice woman called saying that I was a finalist in a drawing and she needed to verify my address...She had the right address. This was so that if I won they could notify me by mail. Said my credit card company or bank had entered me as a preferred customer.
Then she talked about the weather...I asked if that was the only reason she called. She said I won some magazine subscriptions. Then she wanted to verify some personal information. My age. I said I would not tell her, and then she asked if I was married. When I said I was uncomfortable giving information out in a unsolicited phone call, she quickly thanked me and ended the call.
This has to be a scam. How can we contact to close them down. Apparently they have been using this number for a while.
