If you recieved an email about winning something, mine was a Walmart gift card. It leads you to answering a bunch of questions about purchasing things or being interested in services, this is how they got your number. They have your name and number from the info given from the email. At the begining of the email it asks you to give your name and number to recieve the item you won. They are very persistant!! I told them to remove me from the list and not to call me again. You also may recieve calls from  773-920-1797, 231-732-2031, 616-980-2060 or 410-774-8401. I will never fall for one of these scams again!!!

this number called me for the first time a few minutes ago.  i didn't answer because it was an odd area code.  after looking up the number on google i found this page.  what an odd way to try and get information on people...

i called it back and got a girl named "christy".  she says they're with the "career institute" and they call because you supposedly registered online for a course of some sort.

Ya I got the same call and they knew my first name for some reason and they said that I requested information about some universities, which I didn't, so I just hung up on them. They still keep on calling every now and then, it's really annoying.

yeah, I just got a call from these people, but I hung up on her. I know I didn't sign up for any online classes, nor do I want or need information about schools. I thought it was odd and that it must be a scam.
