In the middle of my work day my phone goes off(vibrating) and when i answer, they just hang up with out saying anything. Very annoying to say the least.
This is the fourth spam call i've gotten in the course of three hours, and the first time i've EVER gotten telemarketer/spam phone calls on my cell phone. i am so frustrated. if anyone knows how to stop this, please let us all know!!!
(423) 733-9672
Have called several times. I talked to one lady about a $1000 shopping spree for preferred Visa/Master Card holders. I told her that I no longer held a Visa..."you do have your Visa debit card though, right?" I told her that I had closed the account and that I no longer had a Visa anything. She hung up.
I keep getting a call from 423-733-9672. I am from Tennessee and figured it was someone calling me to say "hi". You see "423" is the area code for East Tennessee, and some central Tennessee, which is why they have thick southern accents. They tried to sucker me into the $500 shopping spree too, and I didnt buy into it. Dont fall for it, it IS a scam.
A friend of mine, who is more versed in this sort of thing than I am, has gotten calls from this #, as well as me. They seem to offer the $500 "shopping sprees," sweepstakes "winnings," free prize"trips," as well as magazines sometimes. He's involved in internet communications for honest clients who only work with bona fide clients/customers. Says this # and their ilk are simply phone versions of the many offers you find on internet today, for $500 cards for some store, and other "free" item - trips, awards, etc. All involve completing some sort of multiple-purchases so extensive and rule-bound, you'd be lucky ever to see any result, and would pay $1,000 to avoid anyway. Others involve fees, such as for a "trip" which has so many constrictions and dubious accommodations, you'd probably not want to take it if they paid you. Just a bunch of scam artists and promoters, who have a team of vacuous, ill-trained CSR's hustling by phone (and/or internet as well, today).
