BEWARE: "Bait & Switch/Rope-a-dope" robo-call starts as a $500 gift card to a major retailer in my "area" which surprisingly left me a voice mail message and the callback number worked (not spoofed for once)! After pressing "1" to connect with a human to collect my winnings, a fast talking first level "customer service" rep congratulates me on being the only phone number chosen to WIN! She informs me later that i will only need to pay a "handling" charge of $2.95. So I proceed to give her my fake: name, address, AMEX CC #, exp date, AND CVV! I kept her on the phone as long as i can by repeating numbers back incorrectly, giving her an interesting wrong address (FBI field office), etc, etc. Finally after doing her job at getting my CC and personal (albeit, fake) details, she THEN transfers me to the 2nd level, who informs me that the call is being recorded -> I assume to set me up for the "rope-a-dope" automatic UP SELL which is now a MANDATORY purchase to receive my (no longer major retailer $500 gift card) but NOW its: "$500 worth of digital certificates and COUPONS" with the $19.99 one-time purchase of the "photo snap butler" ( photosnapbutler.com ) and then fast-talks me into agreeing to the purchase with "i guess so if i am forced to, to get my winnings") which she immediately corrects me subtly with, "coupons and sales certificates worth $500!) as a way to "legitimize" the charges on my fake card. After allowing me to be wishy-washy for a long while I change my accent and start my chastising and shaming her for this obvious scam. She quietly takes it then we get disconnected... If (hopefully not!) this is how the "photosnapbutler" company uses third-party call-centers for forced and/or coerced sales, they should investigate and revisit their immediately! Of course the item being "sold" could have been any WIDGET which would never be shipped...
I keep getting phone calls from this number "Robo Calls" claiming that I visited a web site and have won a "FREE $100.00" gift card from Wal Mart and a list of 4 others cards if not wanting the wal mart. I have not been on any web sites so where is this coming from?
STOP calling me! Nothing is "FREE" in this world today so I know there has to be a catch. I never finish listening to the call I hang up right away as I'm not interested in finding out what the game is.
