I received a call from this person today. They asked to speak to "Dorothea," which is not my name. I told them they had the wrong number, and the man on the other line said that it was ok, and that this was the number entered into a "dream sweepstakes" of some kind for $25,000. He asked me a few questions (a "survey"), and I played along just to see where this was going. AFter a few questions about my hobbies, and asking me my age group, and which was my favorite credit card provider, he started some spiel about a good deal on magazines, like three different ones weekly, for "only $4.95 for all three." He then asked for my address and "assured me" that he was from a reputable company called "Best Publishing Services" based in Draper, Utah. I refused to give out any personal information, and he told me he could understand that, but he was not asking for credit information, just an address. I said know, and he continued trying to pressure me into giving out my address. He proceeded to ask if I lived in (city) in (zip code) and also asked if my address was (address). I told him I had never heard of any of these places, and he again asked for my address. I found this funny, after telling him I had no way of knowing where this call was from, he suggested that I google "Best Publishing Services." I didn't feel like it at the time, but I just now did, and could not find the company name, or anything in Draper, Utah. After he knew I was serious about not giving out my address, he frustrated said "thank you," and hung up.
I also received a call from this number.
Unlike all replies below I didn't answer and he DID leave a message.
The message was "Brittney.. Is Brittney there? Can I talk to Brittney?"
This is my name which freaked me out a bit.
As though they didn't understand they'd been speaking to my voicemail.
I tried calling the number back but it wouldnt go through.
It says wrong number or code.
After the failed attempt at calling this person they called back but said nothing and then hung up on me.
When I looked up the number it told me it came from Boston,Ma area.
