Unsolicited call to my cell during peak time. Prerecorded message claiming "entitlement to a $100 Walmart or Target gift card based on my major credit card purchases." No identification offered.
I received a call from this number on May 2nd. 2012 at 5:00 PM EDT. There was a recorded message telling me that I had "won" a $100.00 gift card from Walmart or Target. I pressed 1 to talk
to an agent and I was connected to an Indian fellow. He was VERY insistant about getting a credit card number from me from for the one time processing fee of $3.95. Of course I did not give it to him.
I asked what the name of the company was and he told me it was USA Benefits Company. There is
some interesting information about the company on this link: http://www.ripoffreport.com/directory/usa-benefits.aspx.
Got a call from this number @3:11 PM on 5/11,did not answer and they left no message.After reading some of the post about it it looks like I didn't miss anything.If I don't know the number on my caller I.D. I don't answer it.
I just now reported this to donotcall.gov: Recorded message said that I was eligible to receive a $100 rebate certificate from Walmart because of the major purchases I had been recently making. When I pressed 1 to "collect my rebate" i was patched thru to a male with an (Indian?) accent saying that in order to receive my rebate, I would have to pay $3.95. When I asked him what company he was with, he would only say that it was a Marketing Research team. He could not tell me exactly how they got my number, saying that it was gathered because of a purchase I'd made, but when I asked what purchase and from whom, he said "we have alot of customers, we cannot remember where all the purchases are originally made"... When I asked again for where they got my number, he hung up on me.
