Claimed that she was calling from Southwest Airlines. That I "won" something.
Told her that since Southwest has my email address,to contact me there.
I am on the National Do Not Call Registry.
Not to call me back.
Did not give my email address.
She hung up.
Southwest would not just hang up on a customer.
When I tried calling back it was a fake Verizon ... Number is disconnect... Message.
Called Sunday night, I didn't answer. Called back Monday afternoon, I did answered. Claimed to be with Southwest airlines and that I'd be selected to receive two free round trip tickets to anywhere they fly because of something to do with a new reservation center "here in Tulsa." Which was odd to hear from a San Francisco area phone number.
She was going to put me in touch with her supervisor who was supposedly sitting right next to her to get my information. I hung up.
I just received a second call from this number. I answered considering my curiousity of the location of the phone number.
A girl told me I won tickets to Southwest Airlines and that she was with the company, or so it seemed. She frantically put me on with her supervisor (claimed his name was John) who explained it was for a promotional survey and then asked me for my name, spouses name, email, and combined gross income. I lied on each question as this began to seem more unlikely.
He attempted to schedule me and my wife to an evening appointment at 7718 e 91 st suite 260 in Tulsa, OK. All he said I would need is a driver's license. Then he repeated all the initial questions JUST to make sure everything was correct. He then posed one final requirement that I provide a credit or debit card. His claim was that they have sponsorships with the major credit card companies and that showing it was merely to fulfill a sponsorship guideline.
At this point the scam was completely obvious. I told him my wife and I only do cash and do not have cards. He requested an old expired card and promised it wouldn't leave my hand. What a joke.
