I received a letter in the mail that had to do with that phone number.
The letter I received was titled "PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE" and came with an almost $5000 check.
I called the phone number 1-778-881-0197 which was supposedly the Publishers Clearing House office and the number came back as unavailable. I then called the "agent's" number listed (1-778-317-7313) and got a gentleman who did not answer "Publisher's Clearing House" or anything official. His nationality sounded that of Middle Easter or possibly from India.
He asked me for my phone numbers and my claim number. He put me on hold a couple of times and when he came back, he stated there was a "problem" with that account.
As I looked over the letter and check, none of the address or phone numbers, bank, nothing matched up. When I brought this up to the agent and that I contacted the main office, he went nuts and made threats to me and slandered me pretty good.
When I tried to reason with him to find out what was going on he continued then told me not to call there again. He then thought the call was terminated and I could here him talking to someone in the back ground about what just happened. LOL So much for them having a clue.
Both those phone numbers are CELL phone numbers... most likely pre-paid and are out of Vancouver British Columbia. I will be contacting authories there to report this obvious FRAUD attempt.
