Just received a call from this number at 9:45 pm. A heavy accented guy. They wanted to confirm that I still receive my mail at my address (they even said my address). Wanted to send me a $100 gift card. Dumb SCAMMERS!
Ok SO...I was a bit angry with these phone calls and never catch them. i don't know who they are and can't find their number. But then I did answer the call and judging by their accent they sounded like they were in India. and there was a delay when i spoke and it was a call center i heard the background. They wanted to confirm my name and address to mail me something in the mail. WHATS SCARY ABOUT THIS IS THAT THEY KNOW MY NAME AND THE LAST FOUR OF MY "DEBIT" CARD NUMBER AND THE ADDRESS OF WHERE I AM CURRENTLY AT. So then I thought about why not I took a leap of faith and just confirmed they wanted to give me money and a gift to walmart and target. I believe this is the definition of outsourcing. i was on the call for about 15 minutes and they were just reading information to me and policy but i took notes and asked to repeat but their accents I work at a call center and i know how it is they work at a outbound call center where they call people all day. but according to them I will be receiving the gift card in 5 to 7 business days. I went with it because I'm tired of getting these phone calls and no one not even the almighty internet can tell what us what it is or who they are. I finding out for all of us i guess. like Alice and the rabbit hole. oh yea they want an email address and i didn't give them that, I'll just be shooting myself in the foot. and you know we're always complaining how we want free money and we enter these sweepstakes and when we get that call we hang up thinking it too good to be true but I know I'm risking it. I just think someone has to.
Too much static to understand, but she said something about a Visa card? No idea, but I told her, "I can't understand through all of the static, but I assume this is a scam anyway, so don't call again."
