I was called by someone named Jasmine telling me I was entered into the $1 million dollar sweepstakes by the "Publishers Sweepstakes". I was also told I'd be given a free diamond Men's wrist watch or woman's diamond wrist watch, my choice and 3 magazines I forgot what the first one was, but the others were MAXIM and a magazine of my choice (I picked heavy metal mag) for only 4.99 a month (somethin like that).
Now I would have originally just have hung up from the get go, but I was waiting for them to ask for my credit card information. To my surprise they didn't. A few minutes later Jasmine's supervisor, Ben called to confirm information and to see if Jasmine was courteous and such because she was a new employee. Then came what I was waiting for the whole time, Ben asked me for my CC information. So I told him that "I do not give any Credit Card information over the phone.", he explained to me he needed it for confirmation. So I said "hold on please". I waited a good 20-30seconds to see if he would hang up. And he did. Which looks to me that this whole thing was definitely a scam.
I believe there is another report of this somewhere with the same Supervisor named "Ben" somewhere. If I were you I'd steer clear of the so called "Publishers Sweepstakes".
