They most likely got your information from some internet solicitation company. I got reward points on Mafia Wars, a myspace game for submitting my info and gave them my Government Cell phone number. Today they called and hung up when I answered with my title, which contains the word "Officer." I called back and no answer. Then I called back from my personal cell phone and they started with their pitch about $500 free something or other. I told them they shouldn't call my government phone lying and saying my credit card company gave them the number and they should just delete my record from their system. She said they couldn't and I suggested she go to her scam boss, and his scam boss if necessary and have them delete it. She acted appauled that a US Goverment employee would speak that way and hung up. See what happens when you mess with the Military?
i got a call from 423-733-8022 twice within a matter of seconds from each other i dont answer unknown numbers but i will call them back if they dont leave a message...and i did and its some scam thing talking about how you wont 500dollars and blah blah blah...i dont know how they knew where i lived and knew my name but they are also idiot because they talked about good credit with visa and mastercard and i dont even have a credit card!!
Told me I won $500 for setting up my bank account. I gave them my debit card info. Then they started charging my for magazines. Nothing was ever said about magazines during the phone call and they said my card would not be charged.
Mess with the military? Scam? LOL
People need to lighten up, this is a legitemate business selling a legitemate service, helping out people who can use help in hard economic times.
You buy things with your card. Your card company keeps track of this. If you are prone to buying things, your name will be given to this company because you are then qualified to get your 500 dollar shopping spree, along with any 6 magazines of your choice for $3.85 a week. That's pretty cheap, and for people who read magazines, it helps out a lot.
If you don't want the service, don't buy it, but that doesn't mean they scam you or rip you off.
I am a former employee, haven't been there in a long time, but they are good people doing their jobs by offering a good service to people who can benefit from it.
