Woman who was pleasant called and claimed I was a finalist to win $25,000. Said she represented Publisher's Headquarters. She wanted to confirm that I had one of 4 cards (Amex, Discover, Visa, MasterCard), and I did (thought it was safe since most people have one of these). Then she asked me to confirm my home address that she already had (since this is common info that can be obtained elsewhere, I thought it would not hurt) so she could send a registered letter in regards to the sweepstakes.
However, when she asked marital status and age, I declined to provide it as I was sure then it was not a legit call, though it sounded a little suspect before. She was not rude and did not try to go further, or ask me to sign up for magazines.
From other comments at http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-310-370-9794, it appears they are out of Redondo Beach and often try to sell magazines.
I am on the Do Not Call list, so it is yet another sign they are not legit.
