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 confirmed my address and kept on asking how come I am getting a watch for free and also their website. The guy speaking to me go baffled and hung up. I am certain that they cannot do something unless they have credit card number and other relevant info.
I got a call from the publisher sweepstakes centre and they new my name , my date of birth , where im from , my number and they were asking about my bank info , I kept asking what's the company's name and that's when she hung up on me. I never gave them my info but what are they trying to do ? Steel my identity or just trying to scam me ?
