I received a call yesterday and felt the same way, it seemed legit if you feel like purchasing magazines, which I did. Did you ever receive the magazines or is this a total scam? If so, what should I do?
the woman called said i won $1000 online shopping spree and asked if i had a visa check card i told her i did and then asked her when i entered a contest. she stumbled on her words for a moment and said that really i didn;t this is a publishers contest and i was selected by my good credit (yeah right) i told her i wasn;t interested and hung up on her. PLEASE no one fall for these calls usually when something sounds to good to be true it is.
Got a call telling me I won a $1000 online shopping spree. Then they tell me that I have to pay $49.90 for 20 months to receive magazines for 60 months. This equals $999.80..so that $1000 shopping spree is actually being paid for by YOU! Don't fall for it.
They called me too. I asked for another number to verify that it was indeed a real business because I didn't want to give my credit card number over the phone. I called the number they gave me and asked to the girl I had just talked to, the man said it was a wrong number. Too bad it was a scam, I really wanted that shopping spree!
I just got a call today, a series of 3 calls actually from this number. and they all explained to me the whole process like 3 times. i didn't believe them at all but it was starting to sound convincing... they all told me that i need to subscribe to 4 different magazines for $29.90, which i will be paying for 20 months.. and i calculated that, that just adds up to $598... not quite $1000. then the third lady had me answer some questions like how many magazines i'll be subscribing to, for how long, and for how much. so it didnt seem like a scam to me... but thats true, they said i had good credit.. im not sure if i do! haha. and they asked for my credit card. i asked them if there was another way to make the payment, possibly electronically (with proof) but they said they just want to verify my card and that im not making any payment today----that if i am, they would need my CID number (the last 3 digits on the back). Is that true? Or is this all really just a scam? Because I really did give them my card :/ thing is, its not my credit card though. its just my checking card and there's not much in there anyway!
Well this number called my boyfriend's phone asking for me. This was odd because I never gave out his number to anyone other than employers for filling out applications. The lady said her name was Amanda-so my boyfriend texted me her number and I keep calling and it just keeps ringing. It is so weird that they would know I was his girlfriend. It is very weird.
