I saw this local number calling me and answered because I have been looking for a job and thought maybe it was a call back. A lady with a foreign accent said I had won the Daily Jackpot of a $100 gift card. She asked if I would be willing to participate in a free membership trial to a discount program. I told her I didn't want any part in signing up for that annoying stuff. She said her company would call me back before the 1 month membership trial expires so that I don't have to pay anything. I said okay and she connected me through to another representative. Same accent but much worse attitude with this man. He said to process my $100 gift card I just need to pay $4.95 shipping to be overnight. I asked why can't it just be sent regular postage and he gave me some blanket answer about their policy and procedures. Being in my desperate situation, I agreed to pay the shipping because after all I was still getting more money that I currently had. After giving him my card information he said in order to receive the pin I had to listen to a recording and agree to its terms of service. I said no I didn't want to participate in what the recording wanted me to sign up for, that's when he rudely told me how I wouldn't get my pin once the card comes and there's no way to get the pin over the phone once I loose it. He basically suckered me on the phone for an hour until I cave and immediately regretted answering the phone after finally hanging up. I'm not in the process of filing fraud alert to my creditors...
