Imagine getting a call promising a $200 gift card that vanishes the moment you dial back. The script you heard—gift‑card code, thick accent, background noise—is a classic telemarketing scam aimed at harvesting personal data and inflating phone bills. Hang up immediately and never provide name, address, or payment info. Use your phone’s block feature, report the number to the FTC or your carrier, and consider a call‑blocking app. Keep a written note of any details in case you need to file a complaint. Staying skeptical and protecting your PII are the best defenses against these relentless scams.
At work, I received a call from this number, requesting my credit card information in exchange for a supposed gift certificate, which I refused to provide.
SGS has been consistently calling, attempting to reach a specific individual, and after engaging with them for about 20 minutes, they provided a number to call back, 1-877-306-9996, along with a confirmation number, but their persistence and lack of transparency raised suspicions.
A call was received from this phone number claiming I had won a $200 gift card, but to redeem it, I would need to call another number and provide an ID
I've been call'd by this number 2 time's this month, the guy with the thick indian accent ask'd me to call this number, i told him if he was in america he would know nothing is free
A woman with a heavy accent called me from SG Sales, saying i won a $200 gift card from Walmart, but i didnt call back because it sounded like a scam.
A supposed gift card offer of $200.00 was presented, but the caller requested a callback with a sequence of numbers, raising concerns about potential phone bill charges and scams.
This number also contacted my workplace.
After calling the number, I was greeted by a representative who claimed I had won a prize, but their request for my credit card information seemed suspicious and prompted me to end the call.
I just recieved a call from a lady with a thick accent, claiming I would recieve a 200 gift card from Walmart or Target, she called my work number and it showed up as SG Sales, alot of noise in the background
You shouldnt have answeed the call, thats your mistake, haha lolz
These calls are, in my experience, nothing but scams, and I would advise exercising extreme caution when dealing with unknown callers, as they often fail to respond when you attempt to contact them back.
A call was received asking to call 8773069996 to receive a $200 gift card, but I didn't fall for it
i just get a call, they say i can get a 200$ gift card from walmart, but i didnt beleive them, they had a thick accent
Regarding the number 8773069996, it appears that CDN is a real company, but upon calling, they require a membership purchase and monthly fees, contradicting initial claims of no purchases necessary.
I recieved a call with a similair speach, asking me to call a number and give my gift ID to recieve a 200 gift card
After returning the call, I was asked for my name, address, and other details by a man named Mark Johnson, who had an Indian accent and was working in a loud call center environment. They provided a gift ID code, which they requested when I called them back. However, I intentionally gave them the wrong code. Despite this, the person continued with their script, asking for my information. When I inquired if the code I provided was valid, they admitted it wasn't, but still offered to send the gift if I provided my information. It's absurd that these individuals feel entitled to call me, especially since they're not a non-profit organization and shouldn't have access to my number unless I inadvertently shared it online or the phone company provided it to them.
I got a call from an agent and it seemed like they were trying to scam me with a fake gift, and I dont think anyone should trust them
After receiving the same call, I attempted to call back to be removed from their list. The call rang once and then went to hold music, followed by a recording asking me to leave my number for a callback, which I declined to do.
The same call was received, instructing to call 877-306-9996
I was asked to call 18773069996 last week and again this week
