These guys keep calling non stop at least once or twice a day. When you call back it says this is a number that is no longer in use.
I keep getting calls from this number also. There HAS to be something we can do about this NONSENSE!!! Glad I am not the only one. It happens ALL the time....several times a week.
Well I'm not *sure* but when they called me I *thought* I heard them utter a threat against me or the president, etc...maybe I'll have to make a report to the secret service or fbi about that...but again, I'm not 100% sure I heard it but I *think* it was a threat...
I ALSO got threatened!! A guy said "This is bigger than you can imagine and you have no idea who you're dealing with." I asked if he was one of those guys in jail who they hire to do telemarketing. lol. He was verrrry nasty and called me a moron, etc. After the zillionth call, I finally said, "Oh really? All I have to do is give you my credit card number and I can have a free trip?? Then let me go get my number for you. Okay, here's my number (totally made up). Then, when there was a problem with the number, I kept saying "oops, sorry, I guess you wrote that down wrong, I said ______ (new number with slight variation). haha
@ 3:35 pmish today, I received a call from this #. They hung up after I said hello 3 times. When I called the number back, an automated voice said, "This # is no longer in service." Hope this info helps others.
Hello! I had this phone this morning 1-802-681-4148 it was about a trip winning countest to orlando and bahamas, cruis on the imperial magesty and all this for $700,00 on credit card and the use the web page 4vacation.net but there is an other web page is 4vacation.com i'm not sure if it's real.
Moi aussi j'ai reçue en mon absence un appel 1(802)681-4148. Je ne connais pas ce numéro mais si je me fie aux couriels que je lis ici celà veut dire probablement que c'est de la fraude
Jai recu un appel moi aussi... C etait un message enregistré au commencement qui disait que j'ai gagné un voyage au caraibes... et d'appuyer sur le 9 pour recevoir mon prix. J ai fait le 9 et j ai parlé avec un gars qui parlait seulement ent anglais. Je lui ai demandé de me parler francais, et il m a dit qu il parlait seulement anglais et espagnol. Ensuite il m'a demandé mon nom et quand je n'ai pas voulu lui dire mon nom de famille, il m'a racroché au nez. Mais j'avais le numéro de téléphone la veille aux nouvelles à la télévision. J'aurais aimé le nièser si j'aurait eu un meilleur anglais.
Franchement, nous avons tous des problémes avec ce numéro qui nous harcèle! Dites-donc, au lieu de vous prendre pour un défenseur de la langue française, allez-donc juger les autres ailleurs.
Bonjour, je viens tout juste de recevoir le même même appel!J'ai fait le 9 comme demandé et ils m'ont dit (en anglais)"un instant SVP un agent sera avec vous sous peu!"J'ai attendu puis quans la ligne c décrocher personne parlait, puis genre 30sec après quelqu'un a dit "hello" et a raccroché tout de suite. J'ai raccroché, quand j'ai repris la ligne pour faire *69 pour savoir le numéro de téléphone, je n'avais plus de tonalité, et ça sonnait(comme si j'appelais quelqu'un quand je n'ai même pas rien composé!)et ça m'a pris 2-3 fois de "raccrochage" pour voir ma tonalité! J'ai fait *69 et j'ai obtenu ce 802-681-4148, quand j,ai appelé on em dit qu'il n'y a plus de service au numéro que vous avez composé! SUPERCHERIE!! Mais ça aurait été drôlement le fun de recevoir un voyage hihihi!!
Mouahah, comme si il y avait des milliers de gagnants et qu'il leur ait fallut enregistrer un message automatique pour te dire que tu as gagné et que tu dois appuyer sur 9, ça sent la fraude à plein nez en effet.
Got a call from this number this afternoon. Same thing, I won an all inclusive cruise, press 9 to claim my prize. I pressed 9 and when I wouldn't give her my info immediately and started asking about the company ( where is it located, asked her to repeat the name...)she hung up on me!! BTW I'm in central Ontario.
Hey I got the same call on my cell. I tried it back n says it's out of service...where do these fools get our info from? I'm also in South Central Ontario.
I get the same damn call at least once a month. Dial 9 for the carribean cruise I just won. I wish to heck these guys would get another life and stop bothering us. Why do we have to put up with crap like that.
We just had the same call this morning. One way to prevent this is to block the number and another way it to send an email to all your friends and family and ask that they do the same. E-mails travel fast.
Trying to block this number using Call Screen won't work as they are spoofing the number. The number that shows up is out of service, so when you try to do a *60 to block it, it's not a valid number and therefore the phone company can't add it to your block list.
Exactly, the same phone call twice. Yesterday, in the morning and tonight at 19 h 10. When I pick up the phone, I can hear : "Congretulations! You have won a cruise from Carribian and press 9 is the key. I did't press anything and I stop the recording. After, I ask for the last phone number I got, and it was 802 681 4148
Hi! I had the same phone call this morning. I can't believe they got me! 600$ on my credit card. Have you got any answer ? How can I get a refund ? Any help would be greatly apreciated. Thanks !
What do you mean they got you on your credit card for 600$. I got the same call I'm from Montreal but did not answer. Does it mean that you have provide information on the phone.
You should tell the credit card co. that you did not authorize them to bill your card, you may have offered it as a security deposit (nudge, wink) for a service but if no service was given this is fraud. You should not be charges for fraudulent charges against the bank's card. YES it's the banks card, not yours. Read your agreement with your bank. Obviously these crooks are getting paid by Visa of whomever... they must be aware of who does it. It's the credit card cos resposibility to guard against this abuse. Fight, dispute the transaction, fight.... you can win. Only when all who get stung fight will the credit co's clean these guys out! good luck
Call your credit card after you get your bill and tell them that it is not your purchase and your card is in your posession. If they ask if you have given your number to anyone, tell them eveytime you use it. Don't mention what happened. The onus is on the vendor to produce a signed copy of your imprinted card receipt. The credit card company can't charge you for a purchase if they can't provide you with a signed docket. The issuing bank will remove the money from the vendors account.
I have done the same mistake 35 yerars ago and they keep on calling me at least twice a week to tell me that they wil;l extend the delay a year or so if I just pay a certain amount on my credit card. I have gotten very abusive with them the last few months and requested the either credit my money back or leave me the f.... alone. They garantee they have taken me off their list but still call regularly. Of a credit...is a lost call, it's lost money! No use crying about spilled milk...What's done is done and gulible me has learned a lesson to last me a life time!
This number is not for real. They rang me and told me that I had won the same holiday for 398 pounds and I gave them my visa card details, the following day they had taken 259 pounds from my account and yet alone I haven,t recieved the holiday package. I am letting WATCH DOG TO TRACE THEM AND GET MY MONEY BACK.
man these guys a jokes, i have soo much fun with them, the guy asked me for my crddit card number at the end and he said what would you like to reverse it with? Master card or Visa abd i said mastercard, so then he asked me for my card number and gave it to him like this lol 577 (telemarketer says)" yes " then i said fuckoff!!! u wan me to repeat it 577 f*** off b***h lol and then he told my i am almost as wack as my country lol i wasted 45 minuted of their time lol ahahahahahhahahahha man that is soo funny if u ever come across these guys again juss record the call and put it on youtube lol
do any of you have your land line throug cable internet ? could it be some new hacker trick to get into your pc and by pressing 9 you're granting them access ?
Just got the call at the office, if you listen to the message long enough, they will tell you to press 9 to claim the prize OR... Press 8 to be put on a no-call list. Press 8, the line hangs up, and voila!
Nous avons reçu cet appel hier. Mon garçon a répondu et ensuite ma conjointe. Personne n'a compris ce qu'ils disaient. Nous sommes à Sept-Iles, Québec.
We received thios call yesterday. My son took the call and after my wife took it. Nobody did comprehend what they said. We are in Sept-Iles, Quebec.
Suite à une recherche, j'ai localisé l'appel. Truc, utilisez le service ''Le sélecteur'' de Telus. Contactez-les pour vous y abonner. Il permet de bloquer les # de téléphones non désiré dans une liste. En plus, ils avaient une promotion pour 6 mois, ca vaut la peine mais je ne suis pas certain si c'est encore valide.
Depuis 3 semaines maintenant que ce numéro téléphone à la maison mais comme j'ai l'afficheur et que je ne connais pas ce numéro 1-802-681-4148 nous ne répondons pas. Par contre, ils peuvent appeler 2 fois par jour et ce, à tous les jours, c'est fatiguant à la fin. Je suis de Gatineau (Qc).
j'ai eu le meme appel 10 fois pour etre exact. sur internet j'ai vu la meme information. suggestion tape www.phonebusters.com, c'est un site qui collabore avec la GRC (RCMP) tu tapes ta plainte .
People! Once and for all, DO NOT GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO OR MONEY OF ANY KIND TO PEOPLE WHO WOULD SELL YOU A VACATION... OR ANYTHING!!! Most of the time it is not legit, and you will have lost your money to a bunch of fraudsters.
With all of the legitimate websites out there offering vacations at cut rates, why would you settle for the destination of THEIR CHOICE, anyway??!!
If you want a vacation, go to the honest, advertised, established sites and watch the sales. It will be a better deal, and you will help to stem the flow of harrassment calls, making your home more restful, too!
I just got this call and got kind of paranoid so came online to see what I could find.Fortunately for me,I work at a phone company and knew this had to be a scam.I spoke with the guy and I asked him what this was about and he told me that I willingly pressed 9,ya cause I`m curious.He told me I was a good visa/master card semeritan(probably spelt that wrong) and he`s asking if I know what this means.I said I know what it means but I won`t be giving any info about my visa or master card,then he says``mam,it`s all in good fun,thank you`and hangs up.I was kind of scared cause the way he said that,almost like,`thanks I got all the info I need`So just to clear my concience,as long as I give no info I`ll be fine right?
I just called phone busters and they say that pressing 9 won`t open any kind of lines to your phone,I hope not.They say if you pressed 9 there is no need to worry but not to give any info
Calls all the time, very frequently! I finally had to block this number, however; I swear that now they are using a different number which is 419-774-8004 (reported this one as well)! When they call they say I have won a trip due to a family member or friend who was viewing air time rates online and they entered my name into a contest! So now I've won a trip to the Bahama's or Hawaii etc.! So very annoying!! I just keep blocking these calls from coming in and I swear they just keep getting new number's just as fast to replace the one's I've already blocked!
When will these end!!?? I know some who are threatened by those on the other line and from the same number!! And these are kid's that are getting these calls!! I hope they can somehow find out who they are ehind all these phone scams!!
here is the best thing to do: (this might take you a couple of minutes but it will be worth it)
just go on with the presentation, get the agent information, and also the company information. they are expecting people to be scared of the promotion, and people thinking that the offer sounds to good, and they are trained to get passed this.
after you get this information visit this site www.BBB.com and reprt them
they use many different company names, only one is registered , also many websites, get the main office adress act as if you were interested and they will spill all the information you need. they are supposed to add the people who dont want to be disturbed to a list but based on this reports on this site it looks like they dont do it. and thats trouble for them.
**** NOW *** regarding the number on the caller ID, that can be changed anytime, is just a display number they make it a local number so we answer their calls thinking is someone local, not from out of state.
if you dont mind taking a timeshare tour (thats what they are really selling) then you do get a good deal. the cruise has many hidden fees, so dont use it. and fight them for a lower price the best i have gotten is $300
