I called the number back and received this man. I asked him what he did, and he said that he supports Publisher's Clearing House and records indicated I owned a credit card. I told him the last man I spoke with told me they handled security theft. Lula was a smooth talker, until I asked where I could find him online because I couldn't find Gulf Bay Incorporated. He said it was his first day. He asked someone else and they said go to gulfbaymagazines.com. I told him that his company had a wide variety of talents, and he said, "Well, you asked me where to find us online and I'm letting you know." I told him I would have to pass and to please remove my name from his list.

Caller said that he was from Clear Water Florida and it was my lucky day because my name was entered for a million dollar sweepstake. I did own a Visa, Mastercard, or Discover card, right? He said that his company was Gulf Bay Inc. and they do identity theft among other things, as well as the million dollar sweepstakes. I said I was not interested, and he said "Not interested in a million dollars?" I said no I was not, and he wished me a good day.

Call was on my work ID so I called it back. Found out that it was from a Gulf Bay Inc. saying I was entered into a $1 million sweepstakes because I was a credit card holder. They wanted to send a confirmation letter out and asked my name and address (which I gave). He said I had won a diamond watch and wanted to send it to me BUT I had to accept a selection of a magazine in return. That's when I said NO NO NO magazines. Then he told me it was a packaged deal.
It's not a scam but a FRONT for getting you to subscribe to magazines at a discounted price. The person I spoke with in detail was Mike Febreezio. He said as long as I did NOT commit then there was nothing to worry about.
He said that if they were straightforward about why they were calling, then they would not get people to listen as much as they do by saying all this other bull crap beforehand.
Giving my name and address is nothing. You can get that anywhere BUT I NEVER NEVER give any of my personals over the phone and I do NOT pledge over the phone
