I get a spam call posing as "Discount Center," an initiative fitting people with various discount programs. I ask what their website url would be, and the operator goes, "It's just 'Discount Program'." Ok, I go to discountprogram.com, and of course, there is nothing but some crazy-looking server error code. Back to her, at which point she says, "Uhm...we don't have a website." WHAT???"
Then she proceeds to her pitch: "Congratulations - you have qualified to switch to something called UER Program!" I ask what the UER stands for. She deliberates for a moment for a moment and replies, "Utility Energy Revenue". It almost sounds like she's made it up on the spot. Again, there is no mention of this "company" anywhere online.
I smell SCAM!!!! Stay away.
