Ok these girls called me sounded like telemarketing. They said I was a finalist in a $100,000 sweepstakes and also a 2nd prize sweepstakes for a BMW and a few other things. They also said I had already won a $1,000 sweepstakes. After they told me all this I got all happy but then they started talking about free magazines and stuff, ok there free so and they said for 60 months and they said they wouldn't bill me so I was like w/e then they wanted to add a "bonus" which I had to pay for, for a sports magazine and they said it was $3.54 a week for 60months but they "broke it down" the billing cycle that is to $74 for 12 months. So I gave them a fake card and it didn't go through so they asked for another and I said can I call you back in 10 minutes and she said well I can call you back or I can just wait 10 mins for you. I told them I was on a cell phone so I didn't want to leave it on for 10 mins so now shes gonna call back. Ive never been called by a telemarketer before so I dunno if this is one but there good at it.

Ask them how they got your number. Then ask to be removed from all lists. By law, they have to remove you.

It's BS. The magazine is "Free" but they "wont charge you for 60 months"? Sounds like some $50000 charge that's gonna sting you in six years.

I looked on my paypal statement and they tried to charge me for almost $200 worth of shit. So fuck they got my hopes up with the whole free $1000 online shopping spree(which they never said with who).

Lol Come on when you get those calls you have to mess around with the operators... Usually I tell them I'm 110 years old and I had to crawl to the phone thinking it was my doctor, and i broke my elbow while getting the phone, and my phone only rings when its absolutly important. Or some shit like that, They end up apoligizing lol.
