They called me at 8:45 at night with a loud party it sounded like in the background (I head laughter) and then they told me I won a $500 online shopping spree. They knew my home address (they called my cell phone which is under a friends name) and wanted to know if I would like SIXTEEN different magazines and all I had to pay was shipping and handling.
They tried saying that my credit card company gave the number to them. They couldn't tell me if I had a Visa or Mastercard, so I lied and said the opposite of what I had, gave them the wrong age and then told them to get rid of my info or I would call the police. If you're going to scam people, wouldn't you at least try to block their number?
The number they called from was 423-317-9049 but under the same Mountain Area Communications name as the one above. Call the main office and no one ever answers...
Also, a reverse number search shows that the number comes up as a private residence. Go figure. What kind of company would have a residential phone number? A not-so-smart con-artist.
