Yesterday, several unknown number showed up on my phone. I wasn't home then, but I was this morning and answered. Gal with nasal, southern accent said she was calling from Publisher's Sweepstakes Centre and my name had been entered into a draw for $25,000.00. Immediately asked for my year of birth. I asked her what comapny is this? She replied that she had told me what company she was calling from! I asked her where this company was from and she exhaled and told me they had offices in the US and Canada and what was the year of my birth. I told her no thanks but to have a nice day. As I was putting the phone down, I could hear her quite loudly saying "mam, I just asked for your year of birth!" She needs to take a course in customer service.
I keep receiving 3 calls a day (excluding weekends) from an unknown #. I finally answered and they say they are the Publishers Sweepstakes Center who I never heard of, talking about putting my name in this drawing. They didn't sound professional at all. How did they connect my name with this number? I don't know but I think its a scam that I wouldn't dare fall for. I answered again and ask who they were and they hung up on me. SCAM written all over it. Don't let these companies fish for your info. You might get caught.
I received a call today at around 2pm from this so called publishers sweepstakes saying that i have won 25,000 and a diamond watch. I didnt reveal to them my personal information and said to call me back after few days soo dat i can think about it. I am a new comer to canada so i felt suspicious about this call and decided to check on the internet about their company....THANK GOD i checked and now i know the truth...
I just got a call today Jun 21/12 from Publishers Sweepstake Centre. It was hard to understand the lady on the phone, but she said I was the lucky person who won $25, 000, and that I would get a watch in the mail. I kept asking how did you get my number, and then she finally said that My Visa shows that I'm a preferred customer... And kept interrupting me while I was trying to find out more about the company. She then verified my address, which I have no clue on how they found out! Very oddd. Then saying that she was going to get me a 36 month free subscription to a magazine. I refused. And told her I needed to research more about this company online, or whatsoever. Apparently they are situated in Montreal, QC.
I have also been getting unknown calls that just hang up on me. It might be them, but I dont like it. This is a Cell and its not even in the YellowPages so I dont know how on earth they got my number...The lady's name on the phone was "Victoria Jenson"
