Telemarketer offering Walmart gift card?
- Sandy Beach replies to not MichaelNo it isnt related to any credit card They say that I applied for a job only and that this was my gift for using their site,I have told them to remove my number now they are texting me and when I call and ask to remove my number they hang up on me.
I wouldnt apply for a job online as I am disabled.
Bunch of crap using up my minutes for their calls and text - Be Wise replies to Trisha| 1 replyThis is a scam. Do not give them your bank account or credit card number or any information about you. Be wise. Always check and see if a business or company is regisitered with BBB.
- NickWow, these guys are persistant. After two weeks of receiving calls I finally took one and let him say his thing. First off, the connection was horrible, and they coudl hardly understand english. If target and all of these stores were reallying giving all of this away, Im sure they would find more qualified ppl to do so. When he then asked me for my cc info, I referenced his initial statement that there was no catch. I asked him what this $1.95 charge woudl be considered as it was not mentioned at the beginning when I asked what they needed from me. The man i spoke with avoided my question, and before I hung up telling him to go F--- himself, I told them they need to find some new material.
- John| 1 replyI also receive calls from them also, I registered all my home & cell phone on "DO NOT CALL" it don't work, they still call, they call my cell phone and wasted my air time..
I started to file complain to the FCC on all telemarketer calls, the link is:

I did receive a letter from FCC for a complaint that I file on another number last week. At less they respond. If we all file complain on all the calls, maybe they will do something about it. Check it out. - John| 1 replyI also receive calls from them also, I registered all my home & cell phone on "DO NOT CALL" it don't work, they still call, they call my cell phone and wasted my air time..

I explained that I was not even on the computer to sign up for this and she said that I still won and it was all free but I had to purchase 3 magazines from this company and pay $3.58 a week. She then said that they needed my credit/ debit card info and kept trying to get me to tell her this information. She was trying over and over to reassure me that this was not a scam. I did not think anything until she told me she needed my information..BEWARE she keeps calling me, I just recieved a call at 10 PM, in bill collection that is even illegal to call after 9PM. Now what is really going on?! The name of the so-called business is Reading America and the number that they called from was 8778454549
- Dee replies to JohnHey thanks for the FCC link...i just filed Form 1088 over the internet with the FCC complaining about these fools. They call me everyday on my cell, countless numbers of times. I have spoken with them... all the way up to the "we need your credit card number" part. Thats when they get it. I already told the jerk at the beginning of the call that I don't give my number out. He said the number on the front of the card is not the number just identification. Its the expiration date and the security code on the back that is needed to charge? BS!!! Anyhow, I will ask my cell provider to block their number.
- mrfirebirdWalmart has a survey on evry reciept ,when you buy some thing .If you fill out this survey BOOM they got your info ,now they sell it ,and alot of stores do this auto zone , target ,....you will never win the promised 500.00 bucks
- coryI received a call from a masked number (caller id said 234-567-890) a with a Spanish accent told me I had won a gift card and I cut him off asking to be removed from the list. He continued with his script and I ask 4 more times before asking to speak with a supervisor. The supervisior told me I was wasting justine and all I had to so was hang up and called me a few dozen names when I asked for his name ans supervisor.

- subduedjoySame thing here. I keep getting calls to receive a $100 Walmart gift card. Of course, they want my bank card info to pay for the $2 shipping costs. I told one caller to throw the card away. He said he couldn't do that because I already accepted the card, which is true, but I never accepted paying $2 shipping costs. I asked him how often he was going to call me. He said every minute until he can send me the card.
- Teach replies to C. AndersonDid he tell you his name was Sam Thompson? He had to spell each letter with a word because his accent was very hard to understand.
- Tamika BlocktonI got the same call. Some lady with an accent very hard to understand her, told me I was qualified to win a 100 dollar gift card to Walmart. Then she asked was I over 18 I said no then she asked to speak to my mom. She confirmed my adress and said that I needed to pay 2.95 shipping and handleing fee. Then she said my card would be there 4-5 business days then simply hung up. They are crooks scums of the earth and they ARE A SCAM !
- Sonja Smith| 2 repliesI too got a call today, which immediately put me on guard, simply because the text they sent me was...we wanted to thank you...then at the bottom ..for your $100.00 gift card..so I called the number, which is 720-288-4673...and wanted to know what company this was. I was told by the indian man that I had entered a website online and won a Target $100.00 gift card, and only had to pay the $1.00 handling fee. So then I asked him which website....and got no answer lol..he said this is all real and when I asked him if I could send the $1.00 to the company, he said no, only a credit card.....hmmmmm......
- scarednow| 4 repliesSomeone has been calling me from #011 number saying i won a Walmart 500.00 gift card. they only need 4.95 for shipping costs. i gave them the numbers on the front of card but there isnt 4.95 available. have i just been scammed?? I'm worried. They gave me a name and said they were a business from Florida.
