    One important thing to remember if these losers have any of your personal information such as your social security number, date of birth or drivers license make sure you register with identity protection notify the credit agencies as well as your banks!!

    I received a call who said they were with lucky jackpot  and that they were entering me in a 5000 sweepstakes. Then could they transfer me to someone who can take info for WalMart card and something else,that it would only be a 1$ s & h then.another charge for a magazine but I have no credit card and that was that.

    Same exact thing happened to me got a letter in the mail redeem your reward now for a hundred dollar gift card to Walmart and target. I called and they said same thing to me I did catch the names they used because I called twice just to see. The names were Anthony and Susan. So if you get a letter throw it away or report it.these people need to be stopped.

    Reward Redemptions and Daily Jackpot operate under the same MO.  You've either visited a web page or they ask you to answer some survey questions.  Their "job" is to sell you something.  Sometimes the victim doesn't even know they bought anything until they see a charge on their phone or credit card for a gift.  You don't pay for FREE GIFTS.  Here's some info on Reward Redemption and Daily Jackpot SCAMS.
    Call back gets "Hi, this is Lisa (or Christy or John) with Reward Redemption...."  It's a big SCAM.  BBB has a warning for consumers.  Read here:

    Daily Jackpot SCAM
    .  Read Jenna Smith's post on this 800notes page.  It will give you an idea of her experience.

    Remember, it changes depending on the number they call from and the particular SCAM they are running.  Here's another person's experience:

    I did receive a free gift card of my choice (wrong one sent but they sent the correct one and in a higher amount for my inconvenience, then even another one with the correct amount) but it was in an legitimate email from my bank (called to make sure). It was a thank you for being a preferred client of the bank. I did not have to pay anything and if they are asking you for a debit or credit card number to process your free gift, hang up immediately and file a complaint. A free gift is just that, free, no charges should be paid for it.

    I want a free gift. I think I deserve it. Is it possible to get one? I would only take it in person - like face to face. No fakes no manipulations. So tired of it already. Need a direct honest approach. Am I being naive here?

    Hmmmm.....
    Did you have to mention food in here? I'm on a diet.... even in restaurants I stick to salads and appetizers. Now you mention chicken tikka masala.... that packs like 12000 lbs per serving. I think I've HAD it with phone scammers. It's bad enough to want our credit card numbers, now to taunt us with food this is mean beyond belief!
