just got a call from this phone number and instantly called to change my card number hsbc fraud is doing an investigation hopefully  this doesnt happen to anyone else, and this bob guy is saying its for real when he is prob one of the guys doing the calling to make it sound legit

I received a phone call from Rebecca saying she was calling to tell me that she represented the
Publishers Sweepstakes Center.  She was informing me that as a preferrred customer I had been entered in a pool for a drawing.  The amount: $25,000.  The date of the drawing:  12/27/2011
She verified my address and said I would be receiving a diamond watch [ diamond at the 12 o'clock point.
She then said I was qualified to receive 3 magazines for a year.  I declined that offer and told her I didn't want to subscribe to any magazine. She said she was going to connect me to the magazine office and I could tell them that.
When that "office" came on line they immediately disconnected me.

I keep receiving 3 calls a day (excluding weekends) from an unknown #. I finally answered and they say they are the Publishers Sweepstakes Center who I never heard of, talking about putting my name in this drawing. They didn't sound professional at all. How did they connect my name with this number?  I don't know but I think its a scam that I wouldn't dare fall for. I answered again and ask who they were and they hung up on me. SCAM written all over it. Don't let these companies fish for your info. You might get caught.

I received a call today at around 2pm from this so called publishers sweepstakes saying that i have won 25,000 and a diamond watch. I didnt reveal to them my personal information and said to call me back after few days soo dat i can think about it. I am a new comer to canada so i felt suspicious about this call and decided to check on the internet about their company....THANK GOD i checked and now i know the truth...

I just got a call today Jun 21/12 from Publishers Sweepstake Centre. It was hard to understand the lady on the phone, but she said I was the lucky person who won $25, 000, and that I would get a watch in the mail.  I kept asking how did you get my number, and then she finally said that My Visa shows that I'm a preferred customer... And kept interrupting me while I was trying to find out more about the company.  She then verified my address, which I have no clue on how they found out! Very oddd. Then saying that she was going to get me a 36 month free subscription to a magazine.  I refused.  And told her I needed to research more about this company online, or whatsoever.  Apparently they are situated in Montreal, QC.  

I have also been getting unknown calls that just hang up on me.  It might be them, but I dont like it.  This is a Cell and its not even in the YellowPages so I dont know how on earth they got my number...The lady's name on the phone was "Victoria Jenson"

Also the phone number it came from was 1-704-307-4981 from Charlotte, NC.  Guess she lied about the Montreal, QC location!

The number comes up as 647-863-2505 and they say are in Montreal QC but 647 is an Ontario area code.

She told me the same thing that my credit card company gave them my number.

Just got a call from Brenda at National SweepsTake Center. Unsure as who was calling as the number was not shown, I stated that I was not at home. Brenda informed that she'll call again later. Wondering if this is another scam.

These phone calls are still being made. I received a call today. They get your information if you have a subscription to a magazine with a credit card. They knew my information because of my subscription to Cosmopolitan. I am not happy with either Visa or Cosmopolitan for giving out this information and I just had 10 minutes of my time wasted.

If your credit card company gave out your personal info to a third party it is because you gave them permission. Likely it was in the fine print when you agreed to it.

So then why come to this site? Because you're a good samaritan, I don't think so SHILL

I got a call from this company. I asked them about their company and their website and they got pissed and hang up. Clearly a scam...

I was getting multiple calls from an unknown number on my cell during the day, I was home from work one day and answered the phone, I was immediately told that I had won a diamond watch and was entered into a draw. I questioned the girl on where they got my name number and address. They said it was from Mastercard or VISA. I questioned them on this and they said it was legit and I said that my next call was to the credit card companies. When I called both mastercard and VISA they verified that they under no circumstances give out their customers information. Then Mastercard asked if I had been trying to make a transaction in excess of $4000. I don't know how they got the information but they did, if they call again I am reporting it to the police. This is a scam. The lady I spoke with said her name was Shelly Shutt

I just recieved a call, saying I was being entered to win $25000. I asked where they got my name, they said it was from the publishers, Visa or Mastercard and my name was given as a preferred customer. They requested my year of birth to confirm putting my name in. I asked for their website address a couple of times to check their company, I was told to search for 'Publishers Sweepstakes Center' then was told I would not be entered into the contest and hung up on.

Just received this phone call today, claiming I was going to be mailed a diamond watch, and be entered into a 20,000 dollar prize announced December 31st. Also asked for my credit card information, and to subscribed to 3 magazine for 60 months, costing 4 dollars per week. The number was 1-704-307-4981, called back and it was disconnected.

Publishers Sweepstakes Centre...(519-454-8028)...
Someone called saying that I was Selected to be in a pool of draw to win $25,000.
I asked where they got my number...she said from Visa or Mastercard, and she continued on asking for my date of birth and more info...which i refused to answer. I was still asking her about the company, as i was online doing my research on their company name. She must have hinted that and just hang up! S C A M ! ! !
Also, I don't have a landline...wondering if they got my number from Telus???!!!

I dont even HAVE a credit card number and a woman with a southern a cent called all day every hour and kept hanging up on ME! Finally after calling six times she spoke back. She said I was entered in tue same $25000 contest and would get a watch. When she verified my adress (which i don't know how she had without me having a credit card) I hung up on her. Sounds like a scam yo me.
