This is the exact same thing that happended to me from 310-831-2112 phone #, said one of my credit card companies entered my name and I was a
finalist that could win $25k...female was asking the questions, actually
verifying much info. she already seemed to have, and when she inquired as
to property value ( stating previously that it would seem like a very personal question)..I declined to answer and she said "Good Luck" and hung
up. She knew name, address,asked marital status(???)...did not ask SS# or I would have hung up on her. I called this number back about 45 min. and she answered "Publishers...". Did say I had won free subscriptions to about 3 magazines for 48 mos. and then subscriptions would automatically expire...no cost to me. I called the same number back yesterday and there
was no answer, operator told me # is a Los Angeles #YES.....SCAM,SCAM,SCAM and I'm concerned...turned over to our local
District Attorney office... FRAUD DIVISION
additional info.....caller ID shows 310-831-2112 to belong to HEARST INC.
I went on that website and did not see anything re: drawings, contests,
promotiions, etc. although Hearst is a well known media/publishing entity
I doubt this is connected and there is nothing in Los Angeles according to
my search...that why it was reported to District Attorney...FRAUD
said my name had been submitted by my bank or one of my credit card
companies and I was a finalist to win $25K. That I won free subscriptions
to about 4 magazines (i.e. Good Housekeeping, etc.) for 48 mos. and then
subscripts would expire. SHE knew my name, address, said needed to verify
martial status, age, and then asked about my property's value, after stating she was aware this was very personal info., I declined to answer,
she said "Good Luck" and hung up. Reported to District Atty. office...FRAUD
i just got a call from this number. i typically don't answer if i don't know the number, so i googled it and found this page. last week 517-931-2763 (http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/5179312763) called me 6 times in one day-- every two hours (almost exact). same kind of scam wanting confirmation. wtf? where are these places getting my phone number?
