So every morning this week, I've gotten a phone call from the number 727-541-0001.

Because I'm in class everytime I get the call, I can't answer my cell. But the first day, between periods, I called the number back and found that it was disconnected. The caller never leaves a voicemail.

So I Google the 727 area code and find it's in Tampa. I then, on the off chance, Google the whole number, and find this on a blog:

A friend of mine from work is having trouble with a certain phone number linked to a certain company. These are his words:

"Ok, I'm a little shaky, I've never been such an @$ on the phone before, but here's what happened. They called AGAIN this morning and this is what I got from the guy!! This could all be lies as I imagine it all is...

The guy I talked to said his name was Kevin Ross, I asked for some contact info and he gave me the customer service phone 800-858-4838 and a PO Box in St Petersburg, FL "PO Box 7375, St Petersburg, FL 33702". I googled the number and I find it linked to a company called "Traveler Innovations" Interestingly, theres this link Rip Off Report and its not pretty... They rip people off!! These are bad people, be careful! After the guy told me all this info, I told him to take me off his list, and he literally scolded me for having an alterior motive like I was a little kid or something. I told him not to sass me and again to take me off his list. He said he would do so. We'll just see if this really happens or not!"

The phone number that calls all the time is "727-541-0001". If you call it back immediately, it says the number is disconnected. Do not ever give them your credit card info. We googled the number and this guy's blog came up. Seriously, stay away from them. Traveler Innovations is also known as Consumer Innovations. Here's another blog about the scam. I hope they get caught....if anyone has $25,000 they're willing to lose, the FBI can actually go after these guys. But not until you lose $25K.....because losing $20K isn't losing a lot of money. Makes perfect sense to me.

Ah, don't you just love stupid con men?

Now, I ask you, for suggestions on what to have a little fun with my new acquaintance, when and if he calls back when I'm available.

Sadly they wouldn't be doing it if it didn't work

my ex-gf would easily fall for this stuff. This girl signed up for a wal-mart credit card cuz they were giving out free chocolate if you apply. Very gullible.
