Got a text message (I'm on do not call) ...
"You have been selected to receive a FREE $50 Target Gift Voucher Call 1-888-684-4708 to redeem. TXT STOP TO STOP"
Why do they bother?

I got a text message telling me to call this number to claim my $50 gift certificate for Target. But it started out Hi Lisa. Thats why I'm checking this out online. I'd be happy to spend $50 at Target but don't want to get scammed somehow and everyone knows there is a new scam probably daily.

Mary DB-I have received texts from this number offerring the same target incentive. I have to pay for each text and resent that I am paying for these unwanted texts.

On 2/22/2010, I received test message with the content "Hi earl, Thx 4 visiting our site Call 877-207-1602 to Claim Your FREE $50 Target Gift Card!" and lists a gift code. This email reaks of bogus - I'm not "earl", and "earl" is not capitalized. I didn't respond to it at all, contacted my cell provider regarding it. I hate receiving unsolicited text messages.
| Dan 2011-06-06 21:03:57 Unknown |
my text got the right name but i don't know what i did to trigger a text. i didn't leave my number.
| Cristian 2011-06-06 21:03:57 Unknown |
We received a call from this number yesterday.

I got a text message that says "Hi roy, thx 4 visiting our site Call 877-207-1602 to Claim Your FREE $50 Target Gift Card!" then gives a Gift Code. I don't want to call it to let them know they've reached a live number, but if someone wants to give me a free Target gift card I'll definitely take it! Just don't want to get scammed......

I received a similar text message to my cell number from 636-208-3301 with 877-744-5339 as the call back phone number. In addition to the $50 Target also got a $50 Restaurant gift certificate, available to the first 100 callers. xt STOP2069 2Unsub.
This is a total scam, and they have to be calling random numbers, as I do not give out my cell number except to family and people I trust. I have disabled sending texts from my cell (why ...?) and am seriously thinking of disabling receiving texts, except my family occasionally sends one.
This is a scam.

| jeannie 2010-08-26 11:57:01 Unknown |
received a clal from this number and from 917-349-2729, both offering a target giftcard and telling me to text "stop" to stop receiving them. of course, i did not do that as that only confirms my number. however, if you go to http://www.ucan.org/telecommunications/wirele ... m_text_messages, it shows you how to block these calls.
| GRA 2010-08-25 01:57:17 Unknown |
I received at text saying Congratulations claim your $100.00 Wal-mart gift card. Call 877-207-1602 Now. Reply STOP to stop msgs.

My name is Not Mercedes and I do not shop at Target anymore. Provide us with the owner of the company's name so we can have a nice 'chat' with them later.
| BETH 2010-03-10 19:13:32 Unknown |
CALLED THEM FROM MY WORK # AND THEY WANT YOUR CC INFO TO MAIL YOU A PACKAGE WITH MAGAZINE/S TOLD THE GIRL I DO NOT GIVE OUT MY CC INFO OVER THE PHONE & HUNG UP !!
| Tim 2010-03-09 19:35:58 Unknown |
I just got the same message. Go here: https://esupport.fcc.gov/form1088/consumer.do?form_page=1088G
and fill it out. THE FCC ONLY ENFORCES AGAINST "TRENDS." This means: If we don't all report it, we don't get it fixed. This is costing me $, join me in reporting them!

3/6/10...... got the same this morning, a TXT saying I won a target card .....I called the 877 number a woman said in very bad english that the company name is SMS and I needed a code to get started .....
I think its a scam !!!! just fishing to see if anyone is dumb enough to give a CC# as form of ID
Even the web site is a joke ..... no real info on it
| Fred Savage 2010-03-05 01:59:51 SMS |
Some a**les sending spam texts and now i cannot log into my acct to block the #s
the from # was 478-79
| Benjamin 2010-03-04 19:08:48 Unknown |
I got the text with the same details as above. I added 877-207-1602 to a contact called "Fish" with ring tone set to "silent" not sure what else I can do to stop the texts (listed as 478-79 on my iphone). I agree with Randy that responding to the text might identify them that they got a direct hit.
| Randy 2010-03-03 18:52:25 SMS |
I received the same text message as above, except with a unique gift code and the wrong name - paul
My guess is not to respond to the text, otherwise it might alert this scam that it's an active phone number?
| ? 2010-03-03 18:02:28 Unknown |
it's nothing but a BIG SCAM. all they want is your personal information. these a**h***s have nothing better to do with their time but sit around all day and mess with hard working people. these whatever you want to call them have need to be put in jail to teach them a lesson.
i could go on and on but they have already wasted enough of my time.
| leon 2010-03-03 17:51:06 Unknown |
I received a message saying "thx 4 visiting our site" followed with an offer for a target $50 gift card. I am on a do not call list and did not encourage this visiting any site.
| Mark 2010-03-02 23:21:56 Unknown |
Got to be an identity theft scan, probably blind calling all phone numbers
| not LORRIS 2010-03-02 02:54:05 Unknown |
yeah...I didn't even know Lorris was a name until they texted me this haha.
| stacy 2010-03-01 17:19:29 Unknown |
i keep getting these messages from a number stating that i can get a 50$ dollar gift card i txt the number to unsubscribe but im still getting the texts...
| gbhiii 2010-02-26 22:17:33 Unknown |
Hi Alice
Thx 4 visiting our site. Call 877-207-1602 to Claim Your FREE $50 Target Gift Card!
GiftCode: e4bfbedd
Called the number just to see. Got a whole "thank you for visiting our website and filling out the survey. As a token of our appreciation, we are going to send you a discount card good at over 1500 locations including where you may buy your groceries. There is no obligation to keep or use the gift card. If you feel it is not a good match for you, just cancel the membership within 30 days of our processing the card. you can, however, keep your fifty dollar target gift voucher card as it is yours to keep. Now all we ask in return is you pay the shipping and handling by credit card. It is a mere $6.95 for shipping and handling, and we accept visa and mastercard." Yeah right! Give my credit card to a "business" that won't even identify itself on the phone?!?! not
