Called me this morning saying they were from Publisher Sweepstakes or something similar. Gave me a big sales pitch about how I was in the running for money, cars and had a free Caribbean Cruise to use within the next 18 months leaving from Florida.
I was then passed to a person that gave me another big sales pitch then told me the cruise was in international waters I had to pay a government tax of $59.00 both ways and asked me for my credit card number. I said no.
Then I was passed to another person that gave me the big sell on the trip and again I said no I will provide you with my cc number over the phone. He started to argue with me about how unreasonable I was being since they had a safe transaction system. The part that made me laugh was when he accused me of calling him a fraud. At that point I told him the call was pissing me off and hung up.
I have called that number several times throughout the day and evening with my caller ID switched off. On all calls it was clear that I had been disconnected. No voice mail, just cut off.
