a women called my house just today and was asking for my daughters name and she sounded asian we called the number back and all its says is goodbye can anyone help plz.
A guy named jeremy called me, claiming I won a package to go to orlando florida 7 days, 6 nights, and 2 passes to go to disney world. worth $3000, it was an annual promotion and all we needed was to give him
was $287\adult. 16 day vacation....is this for real? geeze...had me going for a while. Told him my phone was dying, and needed to call him back. he did not give me his number. ..hmm sounds fishy to me. Told him to call me back in 30 minutes to re charge my phone, he wanted another number, I said no.
I had some man call my cell and tell me that I had also won a trip to Disney land valued at over $3000 and a whole lot of other stuff. He said his name was randy and that his operator number was 7173 after telling me what I won I was transferred over to a woman named Jennifer who wanted my credit card number because I needed to pay a registration fee of $287 per person so $574 all together. They knew my address, postal code, and name... I gave them a phoney credit card number and she said that I was approved on my master card (but I don't have a MasterCard) so when the card declined she asked if i would have money on there within 30 days? I told her i disnt know and she said that she would call back in 30 days. When I called back, no one answered the phone there was only an operator that continued to say goodbye.
