Received 5 calls from this number today. Finally picked up, because an initial search of the number didn't turn up anything suspicious. When I picked up, an operator told me that I'd been entered into the "Dream Come True Sweepstakes" for Visa, MC, and Discovercard holders. Asked if I had one of these cards. I said yes. He then said that he needed to give me a survey (don't remember what reason he gave) and proceeded to ask if I am single, married, widowed, divorced. I said that I appreciated being entered into the sweepstakes but that I was busy and couldn't talk. He said he would have someone call me back later, told me to have a nice day, then hung up. I have looked up the "Dream Come True Sweepstakes" and it appears to be a scam to sell magazines - others reporting different numbers have posted that the questions in the survey are intended to help them choose magazines you might be interested in. I registered with the Do Not Call registry (thought I already was). If they call back, I will just ask to be removed. I might change my CC number, since they obviously have some of the information related to it.

I have been called by this number several times per day for the last several weeks. I have told them to stop calling me since I am not interested in what they have to offer and I am not supposed to take calls at work from anyone but customer. I finally told the caller that I wanted his home phone number so that I could call him at the worst time of day and let him know what it feels like. I received two more calls from this number before the end of the day which I did not answer. Someone should do something to stop these guys.
