Received phone call from this number. Left no message. Received another call an hour later from 718-228-1762. Again left no message. Called back both. Got an answer on 718-228-0785. I said, "Hi, I just got a call from this number" The guy said, "Oh...sorry" and hung up.
I was recently at a wedding show and signed up to win a free vacation. I assume this is what it is about. I read the information on the 228-1762 page and most others who were receiving calls from that number were in the same situation. I am guessing that they have a system that dials out the calls and if you call the number back they have no clue who you are and that is why they hang up. I bet they will call back again, and I will tell them to take me off their list.
I personally know someone who received a call from these people and they lost $500. It belongs to a company of telemarketers that tell you that you have won a trip. Then they ask for your credit card. They also just happen to slip in their schpeel that you will be attending a presentation (to sell timeshare or some such thing). But they don't give you all details and I have read numerous horror stories about from people that they have taken money from. If you see this number come up, don't even answer your phone!! I am investigating this further, so watch for follow up to this for more details!
It happened to me this morning, I knew something was fishy. So I had to research about it, and here I am. They used a couple of numbers to try to contact me when I didn't pick up: 1 718 530 9134 & 1 718 228 0775 & of course this one. Thank god I researched on this.
They gave me websites too:
http://www.bahamascelebration.com/Celebration-Cruise-Line-Information.html
&
http://www.floridabahamascruisevacations.com/
I got the same #, they gave me that bahamas celebration site. I knew it was fishy when he confirmed my address and it had my old zip code instead of my new one. Also, he said i filled out an entry to win the vacation, at the event i just attended this past weekend...i was there, but i know for a fact i didnt fill one out for a cruise. I only filled 1 out for a universal studios trip. :)
The Universal Studios trip raffle is from the same telemarketing company as the Bahamas one. My boyfriend and I went to the NY Big Apple Comic Con this past weekend and they have been calling my cell phone four times a day for the past three days, from a different number almost every time. All numbers point to the same company when I look them up. They say they don't sell your name, but their free trip raffle is just a front for their own telemarketing campaign.
