Thanks to these posts, I was ready when these people called. I have been receiving phone calls from this number for several weeks now, several times a day. I had not answered as I figured if it was someone I knew, they would leave a message (which this company never did). After reading the above posts, I was ready to handle these jerks. They called again (as expected) and this time, I answered. The guy identified himself as calling from "Vista Services" and mentioned the last 4 digits of my debit card. He then told me that I was a "preferred customer" and would be receiving $150 in gasoline vouchers in the mail within the next couple of weeks. At this point, I interrupted him and told him "do not send the vouches, I am not interested, please put me on your do-not-call list." The guy just kept on talking as if not even hearing me, and said, "well, we will be sending these vouchers ..." I interrupted him again and said, "EXCUSE ME! YOU ARE NOT LISTENING! I SAID, 'I AM NOT INTERESTED!' PUT ME ON YOUR DO NOT CALL LIST!" and the jerk hung up on me. Thanks for the heads up everyone ... these scammers are persistent. Now that I know what card they have, I am calling my bank to have them cancel and reissue a new debit card.
