Don't answer the call maybe they will hack your phone.
I started receiving the same call but I'm always surprised when i research these scammer numbers and find so many people who still don't know how to stop them permanently by using YOUMAIL. It's free, can be completely customized and works on landlines as well as cellphones. I can't live without it and once you try it you'll be amazed. You can block by number or complete area code and even create your own greeting. Personally, I record SIT tones that disconnect automated robo calls and then removes my phone number from their dialer. The maximum number of calls I have ever received from each scam # is 3. I don't use my phone much so now that I've taken care of all the scammers, it's silent most of the day. I LOV E IT! I'm in no way affiliated with youmail, just a diehard fan. Try it - www.youmail.com.
First of all...don't ever EVER give your credit card number to someone over the phone, that you do not know is a legit company.
This company is using a VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol). I received a phone call from (459) 121-8344 stating I can get a Wal-Mart gift card due to a survey I filled out online. I know this is crap because I never do those, and for sure I would never use my real phone number.
After researching for hours, I found more info on this company leading to Waka Network. They are not located in the United States. On their webpages http://wakanetwork.com, http://uwonaprize.com/, http://www.wakanetworkinc.com, lists 2 addresses. One is overseas, and the other is located in Nevada.
After more research, I discovered the Nevada address is that of the lawfirm Carroll, Kelly, Trotter, Franzen & McKenna. I have just called this lawfirm using the number on their webpage to alert them of Waka Network using their address, but as of right now, I have not received a response.
Also, on their webpage states "Copyright © 2012 by Waka Network." I check the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and there is no record of Waka Network, or any similar name with a US Copyright.
The customer service numbers for Waka Network is 1-877-332-1490 & 1-877-237-9772.
Its obvious this company is scamming. Protect yourself, protect your card numbers. If you have given them your CC#...CHANGE IT!
As far as stopping the calls from them, in reality there is not a damn thing you can do, other than having their number blocked.
Hope this bit of info helps. Myself, I am going to find an auto dialer, and have it call their customer service numbers over and over.
the calls started on 10 3 2012, no one says anything, and when i try to call back, verizon says the number has been disconnected, what do i do. i have a prepaid call phone, i can't block this number/
I just started getting these calls from this #. All hours of the day. Extremely annoying. I am going to have this # blocked!!!
