These people keep calling me and they always say, "Hi _____, I'm calling long distance, can you hear me???" EVERY SINGLE TIME!
I keep asking to be removed from their list and they hang up on me. I've called this stupid number and its just an automated message saying that you've won some b.s. Its false as I called it from two different numbers (one being work) and its the same message.
If anyone knows how to get removed from this, I'd really appreciate it. I'm on the do not call list (not that that means much).
Got a call from this number at work, had to leave in the middle of it to do my job. They asked if they could call back. A week later they did but I missed it. Iam glad I didn't get far enough along the other day for them to say that I ordered magazines. I don't have time for that stuff anyway. I did not give them any info that dudn't already have - I susggest other not give out any infotrmation either. When the first call came in and they said they were from Publisher's Service Centre I was a little worried, as I am involved in publishing...
This call came in and they knew my name, my nick name, and my full address...Which was really unnverving as I just moved to my new place a few months ago!
The person kept saying that I was entered to win a sweepstakes and that I was getting 4 magazines for free. Then they stated I'd have to pay for one of them at 4.95 a week. I asked him his name, he said Manual Ruiz, then I asked him his address and he said 1940 Vermont Rd, Torrance, California. I was shocked he actually gave info. Then they asked for more information...I was waiting for them to ask for my credit card, but all they were asking was for me to say yes. I told them I didn't want to pay for anything and then they hung up on me.
I asked if they had a website, and the lady asked someone else and said they didn't have a website. Clearly fraudulent, don't say yes anywhere or anytime on the phone with them. Glad I googled the number when I got the call.
I have been getting phone calls from this number also, sometimes twice a day. Very annoying. I never answer calls from numbers that I don't recognize and they never leave a message. Thanks for sharing your situations here. . .
They called and said that I had won some sort of super deluxe sweepstakes due to my visa/mastercard. They wanted me to confirm my address but I wouldn't. I started asking what exactly did I win and the guy said, "Thanks and good luck" and hung up on me. Oh well, guess I'm not missing much.
Guess I got luckier than most. Came home to an obscene message from this number on my answering machine. Couldn't believe someone from an unknown number could be so rude. Glad I didn't call back after seeing others experience.
