Got a phone call from "Samantha from Prize Advisor".
Samantha is actually a software program cold calling trying to convince people that she is a real human. It is a scam trying to collect useful information from you.
The moment I asked what phone number she is at, the automated response said to disregard this call. When I called back the number, I re-asked the same question, and the automated response repeated the reply exactly (hence it is automation, not a real person).
If you get a call from this number, report it to the Do Not Call
These people call from what shows up as a local number on my Caller ID.
Upon answering, the person is reading a script that says she is from the Daily Jackpot, and I have been chosen to answer their survey calls. If I choose to go further, I am agreeing to take more calls and be entered once a day for a daily jackpot drawing. The first time I accidentally answered, I asked where she was calling from, she pretended that she could not hear me. I am assuming she is being supervised. ??
The second time I accidentally answered (again, it looks like someone local is calling me), the same thing happened. The woman read off of her script and when I asked her anything about it being a scam, she pretends she cannot hear me until she hangs up.
Today I answered, the same woman as last time was on the calling end of the call. I said, "You're the person who pretends you can't hear me. Can you hear me now?" She said, "Yes I can hear you." I said, "I knew you were lying last week. Tell me which state you are calling from because it looks like a local number." She said, "I'm calling from the Daily Jackpot." I said, "There are 50 states, you must know which one you are located in right now." She said, "I am calling from the Daily Jackpot." I said, "That is not one of the states. How can anyone trust you are not a scam?" and she continued reading off her script. I asked if she's in charge of the scam or if it is just a place she works for. She hung up on me.
I researched online and found the company is called Proadmin Solutions out of California. I could not click on the link to their website because my computer had a warning that their site may harm my computer.
