I have received two phone calls from this number and missed them both.  They didn't leave a message either time.  I tried calling the number back and I got a dropped call tone.  I don't who this is or what they want.

EXCEPT THEY DON'T TAKE $$ OUT OF MY ACCOUNT LAMENT, SO WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THAT?

I been recieving lots of call from this number. I normally do not pick up unkown calls. I accidently pick up on one occasion the rep on the line mention I have earn a $150 gas card because of good standing with my currently credit card ending XXXX. She ask what is my address where she can sent it to. I then ask her should you already have that information. She just hang..

This guy is really starting to piss me off.  I got a call from this number a while ago, once - then again a month or two later.  Now I am starting to get it every day.  I answered it yesterday and he said my first name like he knew me - his name was Mark or Matt Burnett or Barnett.  I can't remember his name because I had google'd this number and knew what was coming.  Same story Vista Services about a discover card.  I hung up on the retard before he could say anything else.  He just called again, but I'm at work.  If he calls again when I'm not at work he's not going to get a pleasant hello.

Thank you.Very helpful info.

NO THE WAY IT WORKS - IS BY PROCESSING YOUR ORDER FOR THE SCAM GRANT INFO CD - YOU GAVE THEM PERMISSION TO CHARGE YOU A MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP FEE!  
All outlined in the terms and conditions - They rely heavily on the consumer not reading them

ALL THOSE GRANT OFFERINGS ARE SCAMS - A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS!  

No secret - GRANT INFO IS FREE FROM THE FED GOVERNMENT!  

Federal Trade Commission has a lot of information on these grant scams as well as many others  so do other complaint boards,  YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING TO LOOK FOR IT

Government Grant Scams
The "free money" scam has been around almost as long as the human species.
It has more variations than a bulldog has wrinkles but you can count on one thing: the government (any government) does not simply give money away to individuals. Anyone who tells you differently has larceny in his heart.
If you give him your bank account number, he will soon have your funds in his pocket.
It does no good to list all of the names used by these bunko artists because a.) they change all the time and b.) every single free-money government-grant offer is a scam. Period.

?Free Government Grants?: Don?t Take Them For Grant-ed
?Because you pay your income taxes on time, you have been awarded a free $12,500 government grant! To get your grant, simply give us your checking account information, and we will direct-deposit the grant into your bank account!?
Sometimes, it?s an ad that claims you will qualify to receive a ?free grant? to pay for education costs, home repairs, home business expenses, or unpaid bills. Other times, it?s a phone call supposedly from a ?government? agency or some other organization with an official sounding name. In either case, the claim is the same: your application for a grant is guaranteed to be accepted, and you?ll never have to pay the money back.
But the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation?s consumer protection agency, says that ?money for nothing? grant offers usually are scams, whether you see them in your local paper or a national magazine, or hear about them on the phone.
Some scam artists advertise ?free grants? in the classifieds, inviting readers to call a toll-free number for more information. Others are more bold: they call you out of the blue. They lie about where they?re calling from, or they claim legitimacy using an official-sounding name like the ?Federal Grants Administration.? They may ask you some basic questions to determine if you ?qualify? to receive a grant. FTC attorneys say calls and come-ons for free money invariably are rip offs.
Grant scammers generally follow a script: they congratulate you on your eligibility, then ask for your checking account information so they can ?deposit your grant directly into your account,? or cover a one-time ?processing fee.? The caller may even reassure you that you can get a refund if you?re not satisfied. In fact, you?ll never see the grant they promise; they will disappear with your money.
The FTC says following a few basic rules can keep consumers from losing money to these ?government grant? scams:
    Don?t give out your bank account information to anyone you don?t know. Scammers pressure people to divulge their bank account information so that they can steal the money in the account. Always keep your bank account information confidential. Don?t share it unless you are familiar with the company and know why the information is necessary.
    Don?t pay any money for a ?free? government grant. If you have to pay money to claim a ?free? government grant, it isn?t really free. A real government agency won?t ask you to pay a processing fee for a grant that you have already been awarded ? or to pay for a list of grant-making institutions. The names of agencies and foundations that award grants are available for free at any public library or on the Internet. The only official access point for all federal grant-making agencies is www.grants.gov.
    Look-alikes aren?t the real thing. Just because the caller says he?s from the ?Federal Grants Administration? doesn?t mean that he is. There is no such government agency. Take a moment to check the blue pages in your telephone directory to bear out your hunch ? or not.
    Phone numbers can deceive. Some con artists use Internet technology to disguise their area code in caller ID systems. Although it may look like they?re calling from Washington, DC, they could be calling from anywhere in the world.
    Take control of the calls you receive. If you want to reduce the number of telemarketing calls you receive, place your telephone number on the National Do Not Call Registry. To register online, visit www.donotcall.gov. To register by phone, call 1-888-382-1222 (TTY: 1-866-290-4236) from the phone number you wish to register.

ANOTHER MISTAKE
NOT READING THE PRIVACY POLICY OR TERMS AND CONDITIONS..

you bought an AS SEEN ON TV product???    

You overpaid - all that crap is overpriced on TV and nothing is ever free you actually paid for it. because they charged you double what they charge for the same thing when they come out in the stores

You bought from the TV ad which resulted in unwanted telemarketing calls

Had you waited and bought it at Walgreens or Walmart for half-price and NONE OF THE HASSLES you have been experincing.

Come on - you have to be smarter than the SCAMMERS!

Did any of you get a free cd/well Sept the shipping and handling, That is called "never pay it back"?. supposed to give you links to all types of agency's that will you find grants. What a rip off. DONT DO IT!!! They get your card info from the s & h and spread your info to other Dot coms.Like wild fire. Next thing you know you are getting charged left and right for things you never ordered or authorized!If you are a victim of this, report to your bank a.s.a.p, have them deactivate your card and issue you a new one.That will stop that mess and then depute the charges.!!!!!!The reason being, that I am writing this is cause,I believe they are in association with this newport richy# that has been calling me as well.The 1 727 232 8520.So, you may get a few more calls from other #'s Be on guard!!!! I was a victim and I would hate to see anyone else go through it.

I also received a call at my workplace - a private no at 9 am this am of July 30th.  First of all what was strange is that he said my first name as if he was a personal friend, then repeated my first and last name which immediateyly caught my attention. The call was from a gentleman claiming to be with the company Vista Services informing me that I my recent transaction with card ending in XXXX had qualified me "Preferred Status".  That this new status would award me $120 in gas coupons to arrive in the mail in about a week.
He told me not to pas up the free gas opportunity with gas being so expensive and That, I should be looking for that envelope and in the envelope I would find information on a $29 a year program affording me discounts at retailers that included Home Depot.  There was no requirement to join said program but to remember to still take out the gas coupons.  "There is only a $2.00 shipping charge for the envelope."

I was to be put on hole for a verifier to verify my mailing address (which they already had).  He asked if I had questions and I said, yes, this is my work no., how did get my no and he said because you are a preferred no.  I asked if he was a marketer and he said yes, so again I said, how did you get this no.  then he hung up - this seems lke an attempt to be a fraud scam, Please be very careful.

Repeated calls over the last three weeks.  No message, sometimes the caller doesn't wait until the voicemail.

This is what I've gathered. The privacy policy on patch perfect's website states they can (and do) sell your info to 3rd parties. I just called their customer serice # which I got from a different blgo similar to this the # is 1-866-272-9951 the lady I spoke with was actually helpful and polite. But kind of ignorant when it came to her own company's policy. When she first got on the phone I ask'd her if there was a way to remove my # from the 3rd party companies they sold my info to. She said we don't sell your info to anyone, I of course told her that your privacy policy even states this, and she said "oh". After asking her a 3rd time she told me she took me off their mailing list, and stated she sent a message to her manager to have my # removed and no longer called. I told her if that doesn't do the trick I'll be calling back. I asked to speak with a manger and if they would have knoweldge of this company, she said they wouldn't. If you're going to call this # it might only work for people who bought patch perfect. But you could call them and see if they have your info on file. They ask for your zipcode and last name. I'll play the waiting game and if they keep calling, I'll call back and light them up something fierce. I have noticed the phone calls have slowed coming to my phone over the past few weeks. But it's always the same company calling me.

I was on their website last night for patch perfect trying to find the name of the company who processes their credit card payments, when I clicked on the privacy policy on the website it didn't do anything,  I can't tell if my browser had a popup blocker as it was my g/f's PC. I will try looking again and see if I can find anything. The guy called again yesterday, and ask'd for me, I ask'd him the name of his company he said Vista Services, ask'd him if they had a website and he hung up on me. I tried googling it and can't find it anywhere, so they might have a different dba name but claim Vista Services on the phone. If I find anything else I'll let you guys know. This stuff is so illegal and I'm sick of getting these calls.

I have been recievinf calls from this number and similar numbers for months and I have asked them repeatedly to take me off their list. I think I need to file a complaint, but don't know how. I keep getting the same pitch as the one referenced above.

I also bought patch perfect, must be who sold the info. I also agree it does not work. total rip off and the gift that keeps giving with these calls.

By the way, don't buy that patch perfect s***. It doesn't f****ng work!

I received a call from this # at work and couldn't answer.  It sounds like a card scam. I bought some Patch Perfect off the internet a month or two ago and have been getting calls like this since then. Telling me my card # and saying I won vouchers. Tell them to remove your phone # name and card # from their list and they hang up. I haven't received anything in the mail and it doesn't look like they took any cash out. But keep an eye on your bank account for the following weeks to make sure.

I been getting calls from this # for the past few days and finally I answered the call and whatever cautious got was the same type of call I received. I told the man to take me off the list and I dont wanna signed up on anything. I belive this is a scam they just want our credit or debit card # over the phone so they can still it and charge on it.

At 5:51 (C) on July 27th I received a call from a gentleman claiming to be with the company Vista Services informing me that I my recent transaction with card ending in XXXX had qualified me "Preferred Status".  That this new status would award me $120 in gas coupons to arrive in the mail in about a week.

That, I should be looking for that envelope and in the envelope I would find information on a $29 a year program affording me discounts at retailers that included Home Depot.  There was no requirement to join said program but to remember to still take out the gas coupons.  "There is only a $2.00 shipping charge for the envelope."

I was to be put on hole for a verifier to verify my mailing address (which they already had).

Note/ Question:  I had (within the past 2 days) unintentionally given Virizon Wireless permission to retain my card info after paying a bill, when I miskeyed during the phone-transaction.

I have never received this type of call on this phone for two or more years.  This coincidence is uncanny as was  this another (no message left) missed call this morning from 562/ 289/ 8172.
