I finally answered this call. The guy did not identify himself but asked if my email address was Prizewinner.com I told him to stop calling me and that I had researched this number online. He got mean and nasty. I told him I would report him and he told me to stop talking that way. I finally told him to get off my @#$%ing phone.

I just received a call from this number. The guy claimed that he was the representative of public service. I asked him which kind of public service. He did not respond. I told him I do not need their service no matter what the service was then he hang out. I am very sure it is a scam.

I just got a call from this number and the guy told me I had won a $1000 shopping spree. I was so taken aback that when he asked me my year of birth I told him, he asked if I still live at and he had my address correct. Then he asked what I did for a living, I told him and he said that's it, you'll get it in the mail, thanks and hung up. What have I just done? Since he knows my birth year and my address, am I at risk now for identity theft?

Did you click through on a free $1000 Reward card from Best Buy, a promotion that was circulating through Facebook? When you have "won" you get a call from 888-111-5555 to receive your prize. And, I suspect, probably also continue to provide them information about yourself so they can build their phishing profile on you.
The caller got a bit nasty and was very pushy. He told me that I had won the $1000 card, and I said that I wanted to be removed from the list. They said, but you signed up, so why do you want to be removed? I said, "If I can opt in, I can opt out. so I am opting out, remove me". He said, but you won $1000. I said I don't want it. He said, "Why would you not want $1000" (as if I was some sort of idiot). I said "it comes with strings attached that I don't want. He then hung up on me.
BYW, the Facebook friend who these were coming from just apologized that his account was hacked, and he was not sending them. So it seems like some sort of concerted hack/phish attampt.
Moral of the story: do NOT respond to Facebook notices of a free $1000 Best Buy card.

Okay I found this number belongs to Service 800 but that is all I could find. Service 800 can be an answering service, poll taking service, customer service and etc. It can also be a lead genator and set you with phones and such to make telemarking calls. These number are normally protected and you will find no information on the caller at all. I sent this number not only to the do not call people both state and national and filed it with the FCC of course no one would say they could take care of. I was told the more complaints the more chance of them doing something. It is interesting that these calls have come to this. I hope that the telemarketers doing this get fined so much they go out of business. Yes I know fat chance. Good Luck and do what you have and please if you get any information on this number let the rest of us know.

I keep getting calls from this number on my cell. I did all the net searches and nothing. On the top of this page there is a place for cell phone search I put the number and got a match but they wanted $40 to see who is was so I am going to try other cell searches to see if I can get something and if I do I will come back here and let you all know what I found.
