So a complete stranger calls and asks to get your credit card and you all think it's strange?? lol@paragraph of nonsense from a guy thinking it's scam...no [***] sherlock...
My father warned me ( when I was young) that when something is offered for free it usually ends up costing you big time in the long run. If you are charged a fee ( $5.90) to receive anything, then it's not free. This first lie should be all you need to avoid the whole situation. A true promotional offer is always given without any charge. They are the ones that know you will love their product and confident that you will soon become a paying customer once you utilize the given product.
Any call received, that I don't know, I let go to voice mail. When no message is left and If they call again, I go online and block the call. My cell phone company will block, I think its up to 5 numbers, for free, and lasts about three months. I never call them back, because I have been told there are numbers that when called, you are charged for calling them back.
If it is too good to be true, it usually isn't true. People steal credit card numbers all the time, and in this situation you are giving them your information freely, so legally that might make a difference.
I appreciate busryder taking the time to share his experience. I always wondered what these unknown callers wanted.
We are lucky that these sites exist, so others can share their own experiences to help us protect ourselves from those that seek to take advantage of us when we choose to trust them and then they do us harm.
