(866) 779-4568

I received three to four calls a day from this number. If I answer and immediately speak they hang up. If I answer and wait until they speak I get a little further until they hang up. I’m not sure if they are totally inept morons who don’t know how to work their equipment or if they are so sneaky that they are trying to record my voice accepting something I don’t want.

This is a telemarketing SCAM. They know my name and have some level of access to recent credit card purchases I’ve made online or over the phone. They sound official and even know the last 4 digits of my card. They often state it is part of a reward program for using your card. They want to give you something - BUT not for free.

One of these scams I fell for on another number a few weeks back. It had to do with the US Patriot Card and Liberty Fun Pass card. They ask what type of reward gift card you would like to receive (Walmart, Starbucks or Best Buy). They say they are $25 gift cards. All you have to do is sign up for a trial membership of each card where they initially charge you $1.95 and $1.97 respectively for mailing of trail packages. I saw the charges on my card immediately. Two weeks later I still hadn’t received the card trail packages or the gift card. Two days after I called and complained I received my cards in the mail with the trail period nearly finished. I called and went online and immediately cancelled both of them. If I had not, the membership would have caused recurring charges around $12-15 per month! About 2 weeks after I cancelled both cards I received a letter about my gift card. Trying to be weasels they have some legalese written that stated they will invalidate my gift card if I mark more than one choice or anything is illegible. They also give the option to donate your gift card to a member of the armed services. No doubt this untraceable act will result in no one getting the card.

Although this is example of another number, the current number is basically the same deal. They knew my name and card I used. They quickly wanted me to say yes to sign up for a reward and charge me a nominal fee. This is the new wave of telemarketing scams. Beware!

I suggest we all band together and eliminate these blood suckers one at a time. The last few calls I’ve received I’ve mentioned the words “CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT” and “DO NOT CALL LIST” among a few other choice expletives.

Sincerely Irritated,
DD
