Receive calls from this number up to 7x daily...no message left...pretty sure is a tap in from internet
sites from hook up to telemarketers...........cant trace it....
Beware, dont fall for suveys that say you won something or spams saying you might be entited to
grants or gov't stimulus grant!!!! I believe this is what started it all. Have other harassment callers
that when you answer, no one on the line....
This is a scam. They say you won a $100 gift card, verify your first & last name along with your address. Information that they all ready have. I know this because I wouldn't tell her anything more than my first name and she already knew the rest. Then said there is a “small shipping fee” of $2.95 that I wouldn't pay until the card got here. She told me she would need a “customer verification number, which is the sixteen digit number on the front of your credit card.” and that's so she could “verify my social security number.” Now perhaps it's just me but that's her asking for not JUST my credit card number but my social security number??? These are NOT things they ask you for when you “win a prize” DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFO! She got very mad when I wouldn't tell her. She said that I had “won” this “gift card” from somewhere I shop “such as walmart, the place you buy gas at or somewhere else”. Ok, my logic is my “customer verification number” should be my receipt number of some kind. That she should be able to tell me that I won from shopping at xyz company. I don't know who they are except that it sounds like identity theft/credit card fraud to me.
1.I don't use a credit card at places like that.
2.She called a cell phone number that isn't in any way linked to credit card information like that.
3.If I won from a purchase why would she need my credit card number?
4.If I won a prize why would they need my social security number?
5.She can't give me any information other than her first name, which is different than the name she gave me two days ago?
6.If it were a prize shouldn't it be free?
7.Even if all it were was a s&h fee that you “pay for after receiving the card” why does she need that information up front?
8.If I had “won” from being such a “valuable customer” shouldn't I have been contacted from that company itself not some nitwit with a bad attitude trying to force information out of me?
9.When I told her to put me on their do not call list she got a very bad attitude and said “that's the way it always is after you've won” and hung up.
