you are so dumb

26-JAN-2010 Called my cell, did not speak.

Yeah, someone just called about a cruise with carnival that my spouse and I had one with a $1000 online shopping spree. Bogus...

ditto...  below is the voicemail I got from them.  Didn't actually listen to it, just saw the transcript and deleted.


(1/3)You've got a new voicemail from (913) 312-8652. Preview: Only imagine. Congratulations everything. Both of these promotional packet
(2/3)obligation. Please call 1(913) 312-8652 still waiting on Universal back for 24 hours, so please call as soon as you can. Congratulations
(3/3)the carnival cruise lines with you and all of although one thousand dollar complimentary on my shopping spree on.

says you and your spouse have won two complementary cruise tickets and an online shopping spree. Since I have no spouse and have not entered any contests, I'm going to say this is a scam.

Did Google search on Access Direct in Kansas City, KS. Result:
Access Direct, Inc.
www.messagingservice.com
8527 Bluejacket Street
Shawnee, KS 66214
(401) 372-3218
Their marketing hype on their web site: Virtual PBX: Our hosted virtual PBX phone system provides sophisticated features of a Fortune 500 company. Inexpensive VoIP PBX and virtual receptionist. AccessDirect can give you a virtual local phone number from over 80 popular metro areas in the U.S.
So no way to know where the person who's making the call is; or who they really work for. BEWARE

They're still at it.  They left voice mail informing me that I have won two free tickets leaving out of Galveston for a cruise and a shopping $1,000 spree. Said I only had 24 hours to call back and left an 800 number to call.  I didn't call back. I did do a reverse number search that shows phone number listed to Access Direct in Kansas City, KS.

I recieved this call on1/13/2010.  did not pick up as i did not recognize the number.  now i am glad i didn't answer.   how did these people get my number?

Got a call from 913-312-8652 in my celullar and the recorder picked it up. It was a telemarketer offering two tickets for a Carnival cruise and a $1,000 for a shopping spree.

same stuff... me and my spouse won something...hung up in mid sentence.

I received this same call but my google voice retrieved it and sent it to my google voice inbox.  The message is included below (word for word), however it does not make sense:


3 good for a household items tools. Julie electronics and he would possibly imagine. Congratulations and reading both of these promotional packet again with no obligation. Please call 1(913) 312-8652 still waiting on Universal back for 24 hours, so please call as soon as you can. Congratulations again and enjoy the carnival cruise lines with you at all as well as a 1,000 dollar complimentary on my sake, straight on.

I had the same call come in the day after my phone service was turned on. I did call them back because, just a few months ago my girfriend and I were on a cruise on the exact same trip "Cozomel from Galveston" on board "Carnival Fun Ship The Ecstacy" However, our trip also included another stop in Progresso Mexico as well. The place I had my service turned on was the pocket in San Antonio Texas right next door to the Travel Agency, that the lady on the voice mail talked about as thier new San Antonio location. Weather permitting I am going to goto that Travel Agency and find out if in fact it is real. Because onboard the ship My Girlfriend and I did indeed enter to win another trip with Carnival. I will not however give out any of my personal information over a phone nor the internet. My Identity has been stolen, and because of that I have been in Jail for a DWI I wasn't even in the same state for, and my credit is shot to hell. If any of you are in San Antonio, The travel agency is on Blanco just north of West Ave, in a shpping strip in the parking lot of the HEB. If you pass the POCKET phone store, you just passed the Agency. (concider this Part one of two)

i just got this call and i checked out the address it told me to go to. now i enter alot of stuff but i would have remembered this package. and its not the same number as you guys got but its the same info... 4day 5night from galveston tx, and you "go pick up the tickets" at night after normal business hours either 5:45 or 7:45 pm. they gave the address: Bridge st Center; 5601 bridge st suite 300 ft worth tx 76112. the address brings up a building ive never seen before and i drove by this address all the time for 3 years. when i called back it was the exact same message. the lady on the recording seemed to be stumbling all over her words. i didn't believe it for a sec. this is ridiculous.
oh and too that guy who called and gave all that info..... ur an idiot.

SAME CRAP THING AS YOU ALL, AND I WISH IT WOULD JUST STOP.

Free carnival cruise adn $1000 shopping spree - yeah right.  Why are these "companies" still in business?

Received the same call on my mobile phone.  Annoying and total B.S.

Got a call, no message.

I got the call at 7 AM this morning.  Of course, I was asleep.  THe message left is the same as what everyone is saying.  Don't be a fool and think this is real.

Are you an idiot?!  Why would you give them your personal information?  It's a total scam!  Hope it doesn't screw up your life too much.

Just received a phone call from them, didn't answer but they left me a voicemail, saying I won something, but I deleted the mail after I heard the word reservations.

My husband got this call. He has never entered anything that I know of - he doesn't speak or write much in English to start with. I only enter local grocery store or business drawings, so I think this is scam as well.

Just got this call.  Google Voice stopped it because I have screening turned on.  They didn't provide a name when prompted.  Left a voicemail stating I had won a cruise to Cozumel for 2.  Number is from Kansas City, KS.

THEY LEFT A MESSAGE TELLING ME I WON A FREE TRIP ON A CRUISE. scam

got the same call. never entered any contest. have a gut feeling if one did post a resume to on lline site someone  is pullling the information. karma does work.

left no message but has called me twice now.  the last time was Friday @ 9:22 am Jan 8, 2010.

You just had your identity stolen. let us know when your bank account is drained.

Ever wonder why scams work? Becuase of dopes like you.

Same crap...got a call yesterday informing me that I have won two free tickets leaving out of Galveston 5day 4night cruise...this is for me and my spouse, not married...I believe this is a scam.....

I called back and was asked a few simple questions in regards to contact information, social security, bank account numbers, etc. Will cross my fingers that the free stuff gets here soon!

They called me and I have won some cruise and a shopping spree of $1,000.
I don't remember signing up for any of this.
Should I call them back?
