Country: United States
Today I received a text msg asking me if I would like a $200 Gas Voucher. It provided a toll free number to call for details: 877-764-7978. I have received 6 different text messages this year, with similar promises. I called the number, the person on the other end with a foreign accent, claimed to work for "Central Rewards" and proceeds to tell me for a one-time fee of $2.95 I would get a $200 gas voucher, good anywhere. Sarcastically, I said that it sounds too good to be true! I asked him how I pay the $2.95 fee to get my voucher... Of course, he was willing to accept any major credit card. Unfortunately, when I reply STOP to opt out of these things, it does no good. Each time, the text msg with an amazing offer comes from a different number. All of them lead back to "Central Rewards"

    This is the company from where they call you. You can sue this company.

    They must have called and said u that you are qualified for receiving $100 / $200 / $500 in shopping/gas/grocery vouchers. To claim ur gift u have to take care one time activation $ processing fees of just 1.95 / 2.95 / 3.95/ 4.95 that u are going to pay only the day when u receive ur vouchers. So as soon as possible share this with every Americans.

      These people call and say they are from Pasadena, CA and want my cc# for shipping an handling because "I won a $1000 grocery voucher" I have spoken with a "supervisor" and have been told the only way to get my telephone # off their list is to provide my cc# (yeah bet) and they have cursed me out! They have been calling for two months. I called AT&T and they don't know how to stop it. I've put my # on do not call list and everything.

        Get an attorney and sue your bank.

        Once you notified your bank that the charges were fraudulent, they had an obligation to assist you in preventing additional fraud.  That notice constructively occurred on whatever date you notified them of the problem with unauthorized charges, regardless of how they handled or classified your dispute.

        Just keeping the account open so it could rack up additional fraud fails to fulfill their fiduciary duty to you, their customer.  Therefore your argument is that the additional losses are a result of their negligence in properly  handling your FRB Reg. E dispute.

      keep getting calls from 720.452.5508 saying I have access to a $200 gas voucher for only $2.95 shipping and handling...Said I was selected by way of the cell carrier I use; there was a drawing and my name was selected he said. When I inquired why he needed to have all my bank info over the phone now when "I didn't have to pay until the package actually arrives at my door step in 3-4 days" he said that each set of 4 digits on my major credit card identifies something about me. He went on to explain but I wasn't following because I wasn't interested. They have called over 20 times beginning Wednesday night. It is now Friday about noon. They reply very quickly and even knew my name and address which I know isnt hard to get. I have FB and a cell phone so I know my infos out there in cyberland...I told them after the first call I'm not interested do not call again but it has yet to stop. I'm going with the leagal jargin next...

      No such thing as a free lunch.
      I am waiting to hear back, but in the meantime I covered all my bases at the bank.  Had them recredit my account with 2 extra charges for 2.95 and since I was told I would have to pay 2.95 for auto discount zone I left that on there.  The bank really takes this stuff seriously and forwards the information to the federal government when this happens. I may have to close my account and get a new card, which I am about to do, and all I have to do then is just set up my banking again.  It is a time drain, but if it teaches me a valuable lesson it will be worth the 2.95 for my gullibleness.  In the meantime some other good things came out of all of this. So keep the faith.

      I have been getting a call from a 1-720-452-5555 number which my phone says is out of colorado yet the agent says his office is out of phoenix, AZ.  Today is the first time I have answered and he tells me that I have gotten this call because I have been noticed using my credit card to shop and buy gas with and that I am being given this gas voucher for 200 dollars.

      He starts fast talking and over explaining himself of the information he needs off of my credit card and this lasts for roughly 15 minutes and I remembered he said he didnt need the information from the front or back of my card but yet now he needs the information to send the card to me.

      By this time I told him what he had said and wanted to pass on the offer, he starts getting loud and anxious on the phone and tries over and over to get the information from me telling me he would give me his phone number and name which was some american name yet he had an indian/malaysian accent by then I just hung up

        Consumer complaints report they are acquiring 800 numbers 1 digit off of major US company customer service numbers, so they can intercept dialing errors from calls that US consumers think they are making to their bank, utility company, or insurance company.

        The number of such consumer complaints, and the consistent pattern of similar complaints going back several years, pretending to be a variety of different US companies, makes these allegations of phone fraud highly credible.

        Were you ever given scripts that had you pretending to be working for some other company, to use in these "voucher" cons?

        What physical locations (addresses) do you know of?

      200$ gas voucher ... they can call you either by Your Mobile Support, Auto Discount, Savings to Go .. they have various name dont be fooled by them. never share ur credit or debit card information. Every Master Card starts with 5 and Visa starts with 4... They can not do anything with ur expiration or your adress detail unless u share ur credit card numbers which in their word is your customer identification number.
