My neighbor received a bright yellow postcard with her name and a claim number; she was instructed to call the tel number listed 1-866-200-1365 to receiver her ‘unclaimed reward worth up to $100 good at most retail stores’.

reward; when she did they asked for her credit card information in order to charge $1 to her account for shipping and handling so she could receive the reward. When questioned the name of company they said ‘Consumer Marketing Services’; when asked where they were located they said the Philippines but had an office in New York; when I asked for address they would not provide; when asked for a supervisor I was given the name Carl Davis, but this person was on break and could not talk at the moment; when I asked to have the supervisor call me back to provide more information about the business, I was advised to call back since they had 200 calls on hold. Never give out your credit card to any company that will not provide an address or other information!

I received a notification in the mail saying that I had $100 of unclaimed funds, and that I had to call the number (877)-205-8071 to claim my reward. I knew it was a scam but I called the number to get more information about who they were. I spoke to a Jake who said their name was Consumer Marketing Services, and said that I had an unclaimed award on one of my accounts. I asked them what account that was, and they said that they didn’t know because they represent many different companies, such as Walmart and Target, but if I pay the $1.95 right now and gave my credit card info, that I could receive this gift card to a place of my choosing.

I am a Target Store Manager and a guest called to let me know he received a postcard claiming that he had won $100 to be used at either Target or Walmart. He just had to call the phone number and give them his claim number. The postcard had his correct name and address. After calling, they ask for a credit card number for a $1.95 shipping charge in order to mail the gift card. The man did not give this information to the scammer.

Type of a scam Credit Cards

Received a letter in the mail saying I won a reward of $100.00. I need to call 1 866 653 0386, and give them my claim number 033655006. Once I did this, they had my name and address. They said I had won $100 for being a valued customer at either Target, Wal-Mart, or one of their many malls. They would send me the reward but I had to give them a credit card and be charged $2 for shipping. They assured me I could afford this. When I asked for their company name they said it was Consumer Marketing Services. I asked where they were located and they said New York, NY. When I asked for a specific address they said it would be provided in the mail once I gave them my CC number. When I asked to speak with a supervisor, he (John Williams) would be the only person speaking to me today. I repeatedly asked for an address and to speak with a supervisor. His response remained the same. He was a foreigner. I called back and spoke with a female foreigner and was given the exact same script.
