They said i was getting a $200 gift card and information about identity theft protection for 24.95 and 1 time fee of 6.95. wtf? The guy was talking so fast that it was hard to understand him. I told him that i was fine and he said the information will arrive in 3 days. They knew my name address and phone # nothing else though? How do i block crap like this.?
Similar story to everyone else's except I didn't give them a chance to give me the schpeel. Called my work number...I asked how they got my name and number they said "you have a visa and recently made a purchase online". Told them "that's great...but how did you get my name and number."
Supposedly a 'business partner' gave them the information because I was a customer in good standing.
Since I get the call from a similar company (maybe them as well? Vista Services?), I stopped him there and asked him to take my number off his list forever.
Was a nice guy. Seems like a telemarketer just trying to make a living. But his company sure sounds like a scam or at best, a severe annoyance.
I received this a call from this number today 12/2/10 on my cell and as soon as it was done ringing my work phone was rining w/ the same number. No message on either line.
