Yea I gt a call that I won $250- but it was for a contest I DID enter so it seemed legit. When I questioned the area code cuz they said they were in MN but the number is RI the guy gave me his direct number if I wanted to call back. The number he gave was indeed MN and explained they have a main office in RI which calls are routed thru. Now to defend that my old job did that routing thing too- if I called a customer in Chicago our caller ID would show up as the nearest office we have there (I'm a designer not a sales person). And vice versa. But the paying S&H for the magazines made me nervous- the $250 was in gift cards to an online outlet.
Anyway I really did enter the contest but due to my awesome AT&T service the call broke up and we were disconnected. I however never got to tell them I won't pay a penny for anything.
I received a busy tone while talking to someone. When I checked, this number was listed as a missed call. NO messages were left. I am also on a do not call list.
Just received a call and they asked for (Martha?) There was noise in the background that sounded like the sounds birds make in a pet store. I said you have the wrong number and the guy said "sorry sir" and hung up.
