Just kept saying hello, hello, hello, but left no message.

Got a call and the sounded like the company was Watkins Company.  The caller said I answered an online survery (which I NEVER DO) and he was here to give me my free $10 gift certificate.  I asked "a survey for what?" He said he didn't know, and "does it matter, I have a free $10 gift certificate for you, don't you want it?"  He asked for my email address.  I told him I was on the Do Not Call Registry and hung up.

Now, if I had actually answered a survey, why didn't they ask for my email address at that point?  I provided a phone number on the survey (which was my cell phone, and I would NEVER DO THAT EITHER) but not my email address.

Calls from 217 area code (Illinois) at 6:30 AM PACIFIC TIME on a Saturday!!!! Woke my [***] up and I did not appreciate it.  It's a recording saying something about a survey.

Re'd call. Did not answer, they left no message. Caller ID said from Beardstown, Illinois. The Do Not Call List was a good idea, but like most of what government attempts; they spend lots if money only for ineffective results.

I received two calls from this number, the first one last week and the second one today.  A young sounding man named "Steven" told me I had won a $10.00 gift card from Wal~Mart and he needed to verify my e-mail address.  He asked me for my e-mail address. That is not my idea of verification.  I asked him what e-mail address he had and I would be happy to tell him if it was correct.  He wasn't quite sure how to handle my request and again asked for my e-mail address. We went around the circle three or four times until I told him I would be happy to verify if the e-mail address he had was correct, however, I was not giving him my e-mail address, so if in fact he didn't have one, I don't appreciate people calling me with BS phishing schemes.  He hung up.  He called back today and I immediately recognized his voice and reminded him that he had called me last week.  He acknowledged that he did.  I asked if he recalled our conversation and he was silent.  At that point, I told him, "Have a good day, bye now." and hung up.  Well see if he tries to phish for my info again.
