866-379-2003

i don't know how i got fooled by this, i gave them my whole card number. and address. i also confirmed to what they said, what should i do? i really need help!!

Have numerous calls from them -- don't know them - don't want harrassed

I have ordered any of the things listed on any of these posts. However, I recently placed an order on Amazon for Shout color Catcher. Obviously the seller has given my information to some sales organization. They enter all your information into their computer system and sales people just go through and call people trying to sell them more of what they ordered or offer them some new product. What's interesting with my situation is that when I placed my order, I listed my land line as my contact phone number, yet they are calling me on my cell. They called twice within a few hours and the call hung up after the second ring, so I never caught either call on time. I did a search on 866-379-2003 and found this web site. After reading some of the posts I decided to call them back and press "2" to get removed from their list. On the first ring some guy answered and called me by name! I didn't give him a chance to say anything else, I just asked to be removed from their list and he told me he would be happy to do that. We will see if it works.

Purchase of Detail Doctor triggers BofA Visa Fraud Alert

I ordered a product advertized on TV called Detail Doctor, total order was about $34.
I began receiving calls from Caller ID "QRI" every few hours of the day, they never left
a message.  I googled the number 1-866-379-2003 and read on a caller ID web site
that other people, after ordering various products advertized on TV, were receiving
phone calls from QRI, and would be asked to "verify their address", then marketed some
other products involving $50 gas cards as gifts.  I concluded I would ignore calls from
QRI since they never chose to leave a message: they were behaving like other
telemarketers.

Today 5/10/2013 I got a call from Bank of America VISA Fraud Department to tell me
that they had seen some activity on my VISA card that had triggered their fraud
alert system.  I recognized my purchase of the Detail Doctor product, but apparently
12 minutes before that, some activity had appeared on my card from something
called CLOUDFLARE.  The activity (which is not visible to me via the on-line BofA
website) was apparently something called an address verification transaction.  Then
BofA fraud agent told me that all of the address fields were verified except my
zip code.  It is not clear to me if this transaction involved a purchase, but the fraud
agent told me the CLOUDFLARE transaction had been reversed shortly after it
had happened.  He told me that this "transaction then reversal" was sometimes used
by criminals who were "testing" the card before making a fraudulent charge on it, and
since the next charge within minutes was the Detail Doctor they were suspicious of that.
But of course that was a name I recognized, so I asked what the CLOUDFLARE was,
and he had no information on that, for which he apologized.  We both googled it, and
we both came to the Wikipedia entry which contained a vague and inscrutible (to me)
description:

"CloudFlare is a content delivery network and distributed domain name server service
marketed as improving website performance and speed and providing security."

I did not recognize this as anything I had authorized, so I asked the fraud agent what
my options were.  He said he could cancel my card and send me a new one with a
new number.  He stopped short of recommending that I do this, but just repeated
that sometimes fraudulent charges were preceded by these "address confirm then
reverse transactions".

SO, now, I have developed a theory.  I am not positive, but I think the quote that
Wikipedia lists as Hanlon's razor may apply:

   Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Perhaps CLOUDFLARE has a niche business in correcting defective addresses for
"as seen on TV" vendors.   And perhaps they do it by an inappropriate use of the
credit card companies computer system, using this "address verification then reversal"
trick they may have learned about from criminals.  Perhaps QRI is the vendor who
fulfills orders for Detail Doctor, and somehow they botched up my zip code, and
those calls I declined to answer were for a genuine need to verify my address.

Remember though, QRI NEVER left a message (in at least 10 calls).   Nor did they
e-mail me to say there was a problem.

And, on the order confirmation e-mail I received from noreply@getdetaildoctor.com
on 05/04/2013, my address (including zipcode) has NO errors.

If the BofA Visa computer system provided CLOUDFLARE information like
"sorry, zip code is wrong" it would take a human being only a few minutes to use
the rest of my address to find my correct zip code.

So I am inconvenienced in that I have to provide my new  VISA card number to
some vendors I use card with for monthly repeating transactions.

Will anyone learn a lesson from this?  Is there any place to complain?

Thanks for listening!

I am so scared, they asked for my credit card info to confirm an order that I made online, I stupidly gave it and realized they were trying to sell me something else.  I asked them to not charge me anything and that I WAS NOT INTERESTED, but now I will have to wait and see the scam I subjected myself to...

I have received 7 calls in less than a 24 hour period!

If being bothered on your home phone, call the phone company and ask how to block an unwanted phone number.  For Comcast service, dial *60 and put in the number you want to block; hang up.  Hopes this helps.

I have been getting calls from this number 2-3 times a day for several days.  Given that today by 12p they had called me three times, I called the number back.  I lady answered and said "Keli??"  (yes that is my name). I hung up.  I called it back 20 m ins later, and she answered with  my name again.  I told her she had the wrong number.  She identified herself as being from Pop Chef.....a product I ordered online to make fruit cut outs to do edible arrangements.  I simply said wrong number and hung up.  Let's see if they call back!!

oh and FYI.......my number is blocked!

This number is tied to the TV promotion Wraptastic.  Unfortunately I did not check out reviews on the product before ordering on line.  Within 5 minutes of my order, after reading all negative reviews on Amazon and realizing that this 2 for 1 (except shipping and handling) totaled around $25 ... I immediately emailed and cancelled my order.  I received confirmation of the cancellation Monday morning ... but now the calls begin.  Three today from this same (866)379-2003.  After the third call, I redialed and told the marketer that I had canceled the order and that I was not interested in the $100 gas voucher promotion.  I hope this is the end of it ... but I am not all that hopeful

If you gave them a credit card number for your order, go ahead and have that account closed.

When you call a toll free number, with your CID (Caller ID) blocked, they can still get your number. Toll free and 900 numbers can look your incoming call up by ANI (Automatic Number Identification) and a blocked CID doesn't stop that. That is why they knew you by name, as their sales spam system looks up all your data by your number.

I received 8-12 calls daily......finally answered and told them to stop calling me!  I then hung up on the person calling.  He said he was from Hydroxicut or something like that.  I told him I did not order anything and did not want any more calls.  Hope it works.

These people were calling every 30 minutes for the past 7 hours. I did not answer their calls and they left no messages. I finally called them back to see what it was about and the minute they answered the phone, they called me by name and said they needed to verify my address because of the online purchase I made of the Pop Chef. I told her I verified everything on the order form before I completed the purchase but she still wanted me to give her my address. I refused to do so and told her not to call me back. We'll see how well that works!

I get several calls a day. I want them stopped !!

We get about five phone calls per day from this company. Can this be prevented?

This call center calls me at least 6 times a day and never leaves messages on my voicemail.  If they were legit, why not leave a message for an important call back...Steal blowing up my cellphone on declined calls.

My phone call was traceable to a specific purchase.  Here is the response I got from that company:

We apologize that you are having issues with these promotional phone calls. The company, Budget Savers, who is placing these calls are not directly affiliated with our company, rather a company who has a promotional offer for you in ordering through us. Please keep in mind, this company does not have your personal billing information such as your credit card or address. If you would like to removed from this list you can contact, 1-800-475-1942. Please note that this practice is fully explained in the Terms and Policies, that must be read and agreed to prior to purchase.

Just called them back and someone answered the phone. Asked them to take me off there call list. She said no problem it would take 24 to 48 hours. She was actually very nice.

I have received several phone calls from 866-379-2993 over the past week, and the week before.  I understand they are from QRI, a telemarketing company and I do not want to receive any more calls from them.
