I came home from work today to find a message from "Paul" of the Prize claims center. Saying I won a prize. So i am very aware of telemarkers and how people scam. I really wanted to see what this "company" had to say. He left a call back number of 877-256-7894. He also request to leave a message for any particular person (another sign its a scam). He just said that they had received an entry to win a car and we had one 1 of 4 major prizes and to call them back. I enter alot of contests so I called back..
This is how they answered (a recording came on)"Thank you for calling. For training purposes and quality assurance this call may be recorded" I stayed on thinking I could screw around with these people. I get this guy and I am like " I got this message, which contest is this, and he was really generic, "its from malls across America" I am thinking gee that narrows it down, who are you looking for. He is like whoever enters contests in your household who are over 25. I am like thats me and my mother. Still he didn't ask for my name and finally he asked for the number. So I gave it to them, next he goes "is there an Anthony Cantone there?" I am like "No" he is like really over dramatic and said "oh sorry wrong number" I was like damn I didn't get to toy with him. Maybe I wasn't dumb enough for his ploy. I am really wondering what scam this was all about.
Anyway I made a complaint to the Do Not Call Registry since I am listed on the National Do Not Call List
