My daughter keeps getting calls to her cell phone from this same number. She's a teenager and in school when they call her.. So I called them back to find they are called: vasity promotions & consumer something...so I finally get someone to answer...he was RUDE and told me it was probably a mis-dial. Well I was like how's that two days in a row. I asked for her to be removed from the list...he spouts off saying ma'am i told you it was probably a mis-dial and hung up.
Someone called me today from this number, he was looking for sponsors to be listed on t-shirts for a High School Sports Team in my area. I googled the phone number and found it belongs to a company called Consumers Enterprises in Davenport, IA.
I suspect it may be a scam as most of the schools in my area look for sponsors themselves. I do not recall them ever using a company to search for sponsors.
They called asking if wanted to place a business ad in the local high school's poster for the football team. Red flag went up when they called me.....not a student or someone from the high school...then, they asked for my address to mail the info to me, asked for my email to send proof for ad to, then asked for a "security password" so that nobody else could call in and change my ad without my permission. They specifically asked for my Mother's Maiden name, last 4 of my social, etc. ---HUGE RED FLAG!!! So now, they have my name, telephone, address, business website address, email address, and want a PASSWORD!!! Yikes! At this point, I just made up 4 numbers and the rep. asked, is that your social or just a personal number and I said, it's just a personal number....and she said, that's fine, just as long as you can remember it. :-) They are very sly and sneaky!
The final RED FLAG was that they wanted to offer me $50 off if I paid over the phone vs. waiting for an invoice in the mail.
I called the high school to let them know about this and to see what they said, but nobody knew about it and I'm just waiting for someone from the school to call me back.
BEWARE of anyone who calls you over the phone asking for so much personal information!
