This company, so called "Consolidated Media Service Center" calls and says they are giving away free "watches and magazines", for "promotional" reasons. They then ask if you have a credit card, Visa, Mastercard, Discovery, etc. And then claim all the gifts are "free", you pay nothing.
I asked for a number to verify this and was given 1-800-367-2921, which she said was the customer service number. She stated they were located in Peoria, IL. I called the 800 number and spoke to a person named "Mitchell", who said he was not connected with "Consolidated Media Service Center" in any way, and they were a magazine subscription firm, located in Atlanta, GA.
I told him that this woman had called and what she had called about, and he said they do not operate that way at all. He said it was a bogus business. I asked why they gave his 800 number out and he claimed he did not know. I did not give this woman my credit card numbers, and I do not know where she got my telephone number from.
If she has my credit card number, I do not know where she would get it from. I am worried that they will try to bill me using a credit card number I own. If I receive this merchandise, should I send it back? I am worried now and am wondering what exactly to do. Please advise.
