I got a text from (941-284-8164) on 8/27/11 at 9:23am telling me that I had won a $100 Target Gift card and to call (877-327-9540) to get the details. I called and ws told that I had filled out a survey online and was picked to get this free gift card. I submit entries at Publishers Clearing House for their sweepstakes and one of the options aside from buying a magazine subscription is to take part in online surveys, but I never do or have. I asked the woman on the phone who she was calling from, what company and she told me discount coupons. I asked if they were affiliated with PCH and she said yes. She then told me that my gift card could be for target, Lowes, Kroger's and a few other merchants, but that I had to send $4.95 for the shipping and handling. I told her I would call back as I was on my way to a doctor's appt. At 10:30 on the same day, 9/23/11 I got a call which I did not pick up from "SDS INBOUND" (213-289-5573). I Googled this # and it came up with a list of reviews, one of which I saw referring to winning a free gift card. So, I decided to post this for anyone who gets a text or call from this "outfit" and to beware I think it is a scam and possibly a way for your identity to be stolen.
