Just received a very exciting phone call telling me they (don't know who THEY are) will be sending me a $50 Walmart gift card. Then the catch; I could sign up today for this one-time offer for $3.95. This would allow me to go to their website where I can print coupons, have access to 50% discounts for such things as groceries, pharmacies, etc. He did mention 60 months of service. Just thinking that if I had agreed I would have been agreeing to a 60 month contract at possibly $3.95 a month. I didn't take the bait ($50 Walmart card is pretty good bait) and had to tell him several times that I didn't want to sign up for the offer today. Apparently they will be emailing me and I am supposed to click on link and enter email address and password. Seriously??? Anyone else get this phone call. Never heard of this one before. This is probably gonna post in the wrong place but didn't know how to choose where to post.

I got an email from someone saying they want to give me a share of their lottery win (a few million bucks). All I have to do is reply. Needless to say I didn't.

UGH I get this one too but during the day because we have our phone automatically turn the ringer off from 11pm to 7am. Still, its pretty annoying. "BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM This is your captain calling" "Yup, Hi Captain, this is me hanging up now".
But I also get a lot of calls about timeshares where if I come and listen to their 2 hour presentation they will give me a prize. Or ones about disney vacations all inclusive etc etc. Just tell them not interested I don't like vacations, that usually shocks them. hahahaInsert Clever Signature Here
