Upon answering the phone to this number, the woman on the other end of the line requested to speak with my 12 yr old son. She said he had been entered in the "American Dream Sweepstakes" and, after I informed her he was 12, she said that was okay and could I answer some questions. She then told me the sweepstakes was through a credit card and asked me if we had one. By the time she asked her next question, which was my marital status, I had had enough and told her it sounded like a scam to me. I then asked for their company name, which she replied with "Central Publication Services", but, when I asked for her phone number she informed me she didn't have to give me that information. I told her I wasn't asking for her personal number, just her work number, at which point she said "Okay, ma'am, have a good day." and hung up. She was very fast speaking and it definitely sounded like a scam to me. After the call, I researched the company and sweepstakes names and found they end up requesting you "buy" a magazine subscription for $4.99/mo. It's definitely an identity theft/credit card scam. Don't give these people any information.
