dieguido asked: I received a telephone call from 8663792003 today, but I missed it so I decided to call them back. They told me that I was referred to them by someone and that they wanted to give me some free stuff with one catch. There were three programs that wanted to give me a $40 gas card, a $25 dollar Visa (?) gift card, and a $25 Wal-Mart gift card. All of the companies required that I give them a $1 trial fee that will will be billed to my Debit Card in 1-5 days. After 30 days of having this trial I will be charged another $25 from each company if I don’t cancel, which sounds pretty easy to do. I can’t remember the first two companies, but one was Privacy Matters 123. I Google’d them and they seem fishy, but I called back for more information and they make it pretty clear that there will be no other charges other than the $1 and $25 if I don’t cancel in 30 days. I don’t see how anything could go wrong if this is the case. I literally made the guy repeat this to me four times over the phone before entering my birth date on my keypad.
However, they already had the last four digits of my Debit Card number beforehand and I read complaints on the Privacy Matters people. Please help me. I can’t cancel until I receive the things in the mail, which will be within two weeks they told me, and I REALLY don’t want to be scammed. I don’t have hardly any money and I can’t afford to lose what little I have. If I’m not being scammed, please let me know, and if I am, please tell me how I could be if I made them go over the terms clearly. Also, if I am being scammed, what can I do do prevent them taking more money? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the quick responses guys. I called my local police department and they told me to change my card number, which I promptly did. Will this be enough?
A side note: I never actually gave these guys my card number.
