The guy said he was from Publishers clearing center and I was entered into a draw for $25,000 for being a loyal customer to either visa,Mastercard,or American Express. I told him I don't have any of these cards and then he said that I must have a visa/debit card and I said No I don't so he said well then have a good evening... click!! so much for me entered into the "draw" scammer!!!

Received a call this morning...said they were from a "Publisher's Clearing House" and they were checking on how I liked my recent magazine order (which I haven't yet received).  They knew which magazine I had just ordered and had my name, address and telephone number.  Said I was also being sent a diamond watch and free magazines for 2 years. She then tried to get me to buy extra magazines at a discounted price for 3 years.  I said "no" to that offer and she seem to accept that.  Then she told me she was transferring me to her supervisor so I could provide feedback on her presentation (because she was new at the job).  The supervisor told me about the watch and free magazines, but when I said I didn't want to purchase any further magazines, she said she didn't understand...that they were a magazine company and were looking for sales.  I said I didn't want to purchase any further magazines.  She questioned me again but I said I wasn't willing to pay for any more magazines.  Will be interesting to see if I get the watch and free magazines that were promised first.

These guys are all crooks beware.
Fwrom Toronto Canada.  Called claiming to be Publishers Clearance House, saying that I won a Diamond Watch and that I was advancing to the final draw for $25,000.00.  That I was also going to receive 3 free Magazines, and I would also receive 3 more Canadian magazines for $4.26 a week, and whenI questioned re cost and titles I was advised that as a preferred customer I would get them for only $11.00 a week, but he could not tell me the titles and repeated the titles of the first 2 of 3 they were going to send me, Readers digest and Canadian living.  I would receive a list including American online magazines and I could change the titles any time and remember that free diamond watch (no value or brand known, but he was wearing one).   I told them to send me my free watch, magazines and draw ticket, and I would select the magazines I wanted ( you know those unknown titles) and I would then send back by mail my completed invoice (as if, but I can play there game and waste their time too) as I do not give out my card over the phone.

Remember these are all SCAMS if it sounds too good to be true, they ask for payment up front, will not send you info by mail or give you other credible info and contact info etc or allow you to call them back.  

Anyone can sell or take orders for magazines on line, If you want a deal on your favorite magazine just go to their web site or a legitimate site and you will usually find your mag at a good deal.



That

This number is driving me crazy.,,,,, 6 times in the last two hours!!

This number has repeatedly been calling me at my home phone number, I would say about 5 times this week in total. I clearly remember one day where they had called me twice, they called me yesterday, and JUST now this morning, where I finally answered and rudely said,' WHO is this, and why are you consistently calling me??!' A woman's voice answered saying, 'Well, we probably have been calling you because you have won a Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes worth $25,000...', and then proceeded to go on about credit cards, and I said, 'no....no....- this is a SCAM.' And she tried to object, saying, 'it is NOT a scam, maam...' as I hung up. I also had rudely answered this call the day before, saying, 'WHY are you calling my number??!' but the person had hung up before I could fully tell them off.

I have never entered a Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes, and of course as soon as they mention the word 'credit card' you know it is just another scam artist trying to get money out of you. I would hope now that I have answered in a clearly angry tone that they will now take my number off their damn list and leave me alone.

Incidentally, I AM registered with the 'Do Not Call' registry list also, and have been for at least a few years. I'm furious that my number has somehow been obtained by this and other telemarketers and scam companies that keep bothering me, and ignoring their calls doesn't even make a bit of difference! I have blocked a total of 32 numbers through SHAW, and am not able to even add any more to my blocked call list, as it is now completely full. I even called them to complain about this problem, and there's nothing I can do- only hope the young guy I talked to, as he said, will take my suggestion to please allow their customers to be able to add more numbers to their blocked list- at least 50!

they call like 30 times a week wish they would just stop

Have called me repeatedly and they kept hanging up.  Finally today someone answered (knew it was a scam but was curious to see which).  They said they were from Publisher's Clearing House and that my name had been entered into a draw for $25,000.  She then congratulated me and asked me if I had a visa or MasterCard, saying I needed a card to claim a prize if I won.  I said I had neither.  She sounded stunned I had neither then said it was fine if the visa or MasterCard symbol was on my debit card because they could use that instead.  I said I didn't have that either to which she replied "You don't?!!!!" In a tone that implied I was from another planet.  She got quite curt and kind of rude after that and told me abruptly to make sure that I "refused the prize" if I won.  I told her I would do just that.  She then abruptly ended the call, no goodbye, nothing.  Guess she didn't get what she wanted from me.  Unfortunately for her I have a job where I deal with b.s. for a living.  Can spot a scam a hundred miles away.  Get a real job lady.  I feel sorry for you, that you don't have what it takes to make an honest living.

In less then a 24 hour period, we have received 7 calls from this number.  i never answer numbers that are unfamiliar to us, but my husband picked up the phone the last call and who ever is on the other end disconnected.  This is starting to become an annoyance.

I received 3 calls in the last two days from 201-676-4166.  My husband answers then they ask for me by name.  As soon as I pick up the phone and say hello, they hang up.  I have blocked their number.  Curiosity made me look the number up on the internet.

Been getting calls from this number for about a week now. 5 just today alone. I answer and immediately they hang up. Very annoying.

Getting at least 2 calls a day from this number. When I answered once, the guy asked for my husband by his first name.......wouldn't tell me why he was calling

My LG Eclypse also has a "reject" list under call settings that hangs up on any number I place there. It is super helpful and I wish I'd found it sooner!! Getting loads of calls from this number.

Basta*ds keep calling every day now around the same time, 10:30 or 11am MDT.  No message ever left and if I do pick up I just hear "beep beep" before the line hangs up.  I wish they would just stop it.

it's a scam, do not answer! i got called by them a hand full of times and when i did answer they daid i was in a draw to win $25,000 and that i got to choose one of two gifts. one being a tablet and the other a diamond watch and they said they had given out lots of tablets in the past few weeks. dont believe them, its a scam even if they give you the address of where you live. just scum that doesnt know how to get a job instead of stealing from people.

Thanx. Will check this one out.

Not sure about that model but another poster on this site has recommended a Panasonic model KX-TG6841b that is supposed to block up to 250 numbers.  I haven't bought one myself (yet) but am looking into it.

Is the phone model number correct? Can't find anything on it.

Yeah got same call saying about name is being entered into a draw, they also said about a watch with diamonds lol for being a valued customer (also had my addy), 3 magazines subscriptions and then they offer me another 3 for $4/week and I mentioned didn't have the cash they said its cheap right and I said just cant do it right now they said ok and hung up.
BTW they called earlier asked for me my husband said I wasn't home and they hung up would say who was calling

They stopped for a while which is good.  I just got another call though and really hope they don't start up again with the daily calls.  You'd think the idiots would get the hint when the line keeps going dead on them (I hang up while it rings)

I've been getting calls from this number all day and have no clue how they got my number.  I've never placed an order with Stompeeze or whatever they are.

my mom answered and they asked for me and when I said hello they hung up

Yes keeps calling me non stop now! I don't even answer it... They called 5 times today bordering on harassment I'd say!!!! Driving me crazy already!!!! :(

Correction - 201-676-4166

While replying to you I just got another (BLOCKED) call from 207-676-4166

Buy a Panasonic phone - KX-TG243c (Its worth the $99+ @Costco) Then you can block any caller you want yourself  (w or w/o an ID number.)  Still rings once then shuts down but well worth it.  Your telephone provider likely wont or cant do it for you.  At least will give you the pleasure of screwing them as I who gets about 20 To 30 of these unwanted calls per month from all parts of the US and Canada. Maybe they'll get pissed off and eventually go away.  Unlikely the DNL will work for you, just invite MORE UNWANTED OR SCAM CALLS. Had three calls from 201-676-4166 today already between 9:14 to 11.37 a.m.

Have fun getting back at them!!!

I live in Canada and yesterday, I received 5 calls from this number (11:51, 1:12, 2:34, 3:17, 3:59) with no messages left.  I haven't ordered anything online in a long time, so I'm not sure how they got my phone number, which is a cell number, so it's not listed.  I really hope they don't start calling again on Monday.

This number has called me before.  They called again four times this afternoon 3:06, 4:14, 5:45, and 6:30, I was trying to sleep (home sick with flu) :(

Probably the 6th or 7th call from this number. How do I block them out. It's long distance and when they call my Cell Phone it costs me money as well as annoyance....Help!!!

I got 7 calls yesterday, all within two hour intervals and I never answered them. Finally today they called twice and each time I talked to them, I asked them to take me off their calling list and that I have no business with them. I was actually surprised to hear an American voice on the other end, not an international accent. They said they're from Publishers Clearing House and that my name was entered into a draw. The second time I talked to them today and asked AGAIN to take me off their list, the guy was actually cool about it and said "I apologize for that, clearly someone's not doing their job" I guess if you just hear their schpeal and ask to be taken off their calling list without swearing or blowing a gasket, they'll actually listen.

Just use the save to block list on your phone.
