recieved a call asking me to verify my last 4 of credit card. Claimed I used it at Walmart and am eligible for a prize due to an unspecified product I purchased. Sounds like a scam to me.
I receive a call from this number twice this week on my land line. Tonight, they called at 9 pm. They claimed to be from the Order Conformation Department for Dish Network. They were going to send me a $200.00 gift certificate. When I started asking them questions, we either got disconnected or they hung up.
The only transaction I've done in the past 2 weeks was with Dish Network. Someone either at Dish Network or Sobongo (formerly National Programming Service...NPS) has either allowed their transactions to be seen or someone on the inside has sold that information to scammers.
Same deal as Windslam. They knew my full name and knew about my recent purchase from Dish Network. They said they were "World Corp" or something close to that name I didn't quite get it all.
Said I won a 200.00 Wal-mart Gift Card.
They have called me approximately 12-15 times over that past 3 or 4 days. They do not leave a voicemail.
I called Dish Network to register a complaint about being called by 813-774-5150. After several transfers in which I was disconnected and over 1 hour on the telephone, I was able to speak with a supervisor. The supervisor said they were unaware of this problem. I told them I am now making them aware. They denied their information could be given out since they don't use 3rd parties that someone else must have given out the information. They claim to be looking into the matter.
I am filing a complaint with the FTC and my local police along with fraud alerts to the 3 major credit reporting agencies (only need to contact 1, they are required by law to inform the others.).I cancelled the credit card used in the original transaction with Dish Network.
I suggest anyone having received one of these calls to do the same thing. Your credit information has been compromised and you may become a victim of identity theft.
