Received a call from this company stating I'm a valued customer for Visa. My name has been entered to win 1 of many prizes ($25, 000, etc). They just wanted to verify my address to send the information to if I indeed win. I asked for a website I can used to verify their validity. I was given www.unitedreaders.com which has NOTHING to do with visa giveaways, or valued customer but instead its for magazine subscriptions. Anyone else know about this number?

Rhonda called me -- she told me my bank submitted me to them since i was a 'good customer'  She had my address and so I verified it.  She said that i won a contest and as a promotion all I have to pay for is one magazine (she rattled off a bunch of names from a list) at $3.95 per week.  She said they were from the Publisers Head Quarters and it was the Dream Come True Sweepstakes or something.  She also asked me several questions (am i married? what line of work I am in? how old am i?) When i asked more about the company, she stated that they are based out of Ohio but she was calling out of L.A.  When i asked if i could call her back (since i am at work and busy right now) she hung up on me.

I just got a call from this number as well with the same song and dance as these others describe. Some bull about my bank or credit card entering me in a sweepstakes. Notification to the winner to be sent via certified mail, rattled off my street address and asked if it was correct.  I said "Yes but..." and tried to ask her a question but she said thanks and hung up.  This really has me concerned and nervous - what kind of scam could this be?

I am behind on a bill so I did not answer.  I can almost guarantee that if you guys are too it may be something to do with verifying your information so they know they are calling the right person.  I only have one card that I am behind on and couldn't pay off so I know it is the same company calling me each time.  They call right after 8am M-S and then like two minutes before 9pm M-S; and every where in between.  I literally have had them call from 7 or 8 different area codes.  It really should be illegal, I have never made a late payment before and this is my first and they won't stop.

I recieved a call from this number today and I did not answer it. The ID read from Lomita CA. I decided to follow up on it and when I called back a woman picked up and when I started to speak she hung up. I then went on Google and typed in the number and thank God I did. Im so glad you all posted things because I am the type of person that would fall for a lie that she would pull and my identity probably would have been stolen. If anyone revieves a call from this number do not answer and block it if possible. Thanks to everyone for posting.
