Received a call about 2 hours ago, me and my family were the lucky winners of a 3 DAY 2 NIGHT EXPENSE PAID VACATION. I said I wasn't interested, they continued totalk and I hung up. they just called again and it was dead air. This is a load of crap.
A scam shows up as "CELEBRATION" on caller ID with various numbers from 1-712-429-xxxx. I'm getting a new number the calls will not stop. If you call back its not a good number. I have no idea how they got my number it was totally private. I'll be following the advice recommended on this website. These guys deserve to get shutdown. Seems like some foreigners using internet connections to get the phone lists. Not much different than spam email. Some people are going to fall for the schemes and mail these criminals money or give away identity. Very sad.
I have just received a call (actually many calls during these days every morning, but today was my first to directly talk with somebody). He was an Indian guy and offered certain amount of coupon for Gas and shopping. In the beginning, it sounded like a discount or marketing promotion company, but he changed his word a lot as time goes. For example, he told me he got my name and contact from Wal-Mart. As I told him that I am not Wal-Mart shopper, he changed to Target. Since it was very strange, I wanted to hang up. But, I gave my information already including my name, exact home address, date of birth, and the type of my credit card (not number). I have a big concern now. What should I do?
