OK here is how it happened today, lets have fun. I highly recommend screwing with these scammers heads, also please do call every agency you can, if they get enough complaints they will act against these scammers. This will be a two parter because as I tried posting it they said it was too long I spoke to the first gentleman and he did the same thing as the others here. He kept just asking for my information and my CC#. I said to him "this is a really good deal", I intentionally acted excited. I could tell he thought he was going to complete the scam. I said "I really want to do this, BUT I need to make sure this isn't some sort of scam." His whole attitude changed. He pressed me hard for my CC#. I had to basically yell at this man to make him stop. I asked him "How can you give away these $100 card, What reason are you giving them away?, What is the name of your company and where is it located?" After about 30 minutes of this merry-go-round, he finally started to answer questions. The name of his company is Reward Centre (not er like we do in the U.S.) Yes there are a few that use re but those are usually owned by a European and it's rare. I pointed that out to him and noted to him that India was a British colony. He was now pretty flustered, but he answered my question about if the company had a web site, all the while he is still asking for my CC#. He finally said there website was "www.membership.com". He didn't know I was on my computer when I called. I typed it in and sure enough there's no such website. I even gave him an out by saying "did you make a mistake was it .net" He hung up. I laughed, (NO lol here, texting is destroying the English language).I didn't let it end there, I called back! I spoke to another guy who was better than the first in asking for my CC#, again I had to almost yell at him to get a word in., as he congratulated me on "winning" this card. I asked to speak with a manager, which I got after a few "can I have your CC# to get this processed'"
