Just got a call from this number about 10 min ago. Rang twice and hung up. I don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognize, so when I looked the number up I was surprised to see so many posts here from just the past hour. I wasn't even aware of the one ring phone scam that's going around until I googled it just now. While apparently this wave started using Caribbean numbers, now that people are onto it, it's incredibly easy to route through an American number. This is going to mislead people a lot more than the foreign area codes. While you wouldn't expect a call from Antigua, a call from NJ or Texas would seem more legit. Bottom line is just don't call back missed calls from numbers you don't recognize. If it were a legit important call they'd leave a message.
just got the one ring and hang up from 201-279-5864. So evidently they are still using your number Rafael!
got this number from my cell phone about 10 minutes ago. rang twice and hang up. no message was left.
Got a missed call never even heard it ring called back got automated message stating I was eligible for a $100 gift card to be used at Walmart, Target and other business hit option one got a very nice lady would wanted mailing address to send the gift card then said all I was responsible for was the $5.99 shipping and handling fee to be charged on my debit or credit card. When asked what business they were affiliated with she said creative marketing solutions when I asked what would appear on the charge she said IT support. When I expressed concern about giving out my debit or credit information and wanting to validate their business to prove it wasn't a scam she attempted to assure me the charge was a one time only fee. I stated I wanted the name of the business to confirm they are legitimate and she said that where she was calling from was just a call center that verifies demographic information to make sure I received my reward and that none of the billing is handled there. I said I wanted to look into the business before giving out or making any payments over the phone to avoid having my account cleaned out and she said that whether making a payment over the phone, online or at a store down the street that I am not responsible for any fraudulent charges so I was protected by bank or credit card company from falling victim to fraud/scams. I stated that may be so but that I wasn't going to risk my accounts being cleaned out for just a $100 gift card and asked of I could call back after looking into it and she said that was fine "I completely understand we want you to enjoy your gift card and rewards and you will possibly be eligible for a $50 rebate which will reimburse you for the shipping fees and along with the gift card you will be sent information and tips that will allow you to save hundreds and possibly thousands of dollars in your area" I told her I'd look into it and then immediately googled the number and found this site with everyone else testimonies. I wanted to provide more detailed account of the "rewards"/scamming tactics being used by this number. I hung up and will not call back I's recommended ignoring any further calls from this number!'
