For sure Spam

I received a call from this number and another one from Seattle, WA. I don't answer unfamiliar numbers, so I checked the voicemail afterwards. It was an automated message, saying I would be transferred to their security department - as if I had answered. Same message for both numbers. Definitely spam.

Wasted 43 seconds on my cell phone

Received a call from Mike Watson, lots of noise in the background.  He stated that they will take legal action a***nst me.  This is my work number no one should be calling. collections me at this number.

Stop this telemarketeer with these phone calls. I am on the do not call registry.

About 3 weeks ago now, a call came in on my husband's cell phone.  I don't know the number now, as it was hubby's phone and he clears all calls almost daily, I don't know why. He answered it, and the person on the other end asked for "Laura". "There is no Laura at this number," my husband informed them- They quickly c****ed the name to "LauRIE", which happens to be my first name. So hubby handed me the phone. On the other end, I heard what sounded like 2 brothers wrestling over the phone, "Gimme the phone, it's my turn-" So****ing to that effect, and some noise, like fumbling the phone. A young man gets on the line and says, "Good evening, Laurie. I am calling to inform you that you have been chosen to receive a ($250 or $500-can't remember which) gift card." I said, "Oh, I have, have I?' "Yes, ma'am, and let me explain to you the reason why you have won this gift card and how it came about..." I said, "Ok, I ain't got nothin' but time right now." He laughed a little and said, "You've been selected as a preferred customer by Visa AND Mastercard, because you've kept in such good standing with them." That was when I busted up laughing in his ear. "I am in such good standing with Visa and Mastercard, huh?" And I ***g up the phone, still laughing. I am not in good standing with either company, for one thing... For 2, aren't Visa and Mastercard COMPETING companies??? LoL It gave me a good laugh at any rate.

I received a call from this number and they said they were a sweepstakes lottery company based in Florida that handles a lot of different sweepstakes for different outfits.  Now**** is a prefix for New York, not Florida, but let me continue.They informed me that I had won $285,000.00 and all state federal and local taxes had already been taken care of because my original winnings were $422,000.00.  Now for the BUT part.I had to give them a check for 1% to take care of the Refundable insurance fee.  That figure would amount toe $2,850.00.  I was on the phone with Mark Brown for approxmatley 15 minutes going thru the regular BS.  He then informed the refundable insurance fee had been reduced to $ 1,850.00 and asked if I could be able to pay that.  I told them sure I could and what was the catch?  Mr. Brown****ured me that there was no "catch" and would I be available between 1:00 pm and 2:00 pm tomorrow.  I****ured him that I would be here.He then said he would have the peopld that would be delivering the chek call me back.About 10 minutes later the phone rang and lo & behold it was the company that handles sweepstakes for different companies.  What a shoc****This guy (Michael Paul) said I would have to make sure I could pay the $1,850.25 today so his guys could deliver my $285,000.00 check tomorrow.  I told him I could just give his guys the check tomorrow when they got here.  He then informed me that his guys couldn't even leave the building without the check from me.  It seems like they should already should have been on their way from Florida if they wanted to get to northwest Montana by 1:00 pm tomorrow, wouldn't ya think??Anyway I told Mr. Paul that he would probably have to give my money to someone else then.Now I was trying to lead them on (a little) but it only took Mr. Paul about 3 seconds to not respond to my request to give my money to someone else and **** up.  Yep, I figured I wasted a good half hour of their time, but it was worth it!!If so****ing sounds too good to be true---it probably isn't true.Oh, by the way my next phone call was to the sheriffs office and they informed they receive at least 2 calls per day involving some kind of scam.  Usually the Nigeria bank kind, but they have heard a lot of different ones by now.Be safe people and absoultly don't give out any kind of information (bank #'s or credit card #'s) to these types of people.  It's kinda fun to see how far you can take them if you've time to mess with their head.
