Late-night calls from unfamiliar numbers often signal trouble, especially ones promising free money with a catch. This setup screams scam, where they lure you with a $200 reward card but demand a small $3 shipping fee to drain your details or money. Common in cost trap schemes, these fraudsters rarely deliver anything. Hang up immediately if you get such a pitch—never share personal info or pay upfront. Report to the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint to help track these pests. Block the number on your phone and enable spam filters to cut down on future nuisances.
According to the person I spoke with, a card loaded with $200 would be mailed after I paid a $3 shipping fee—yet they claim they can’t cover the mailing cost. This sounds like a typical scam offering rewards on cards.
A promise of a $200 card was made, requiring only a $3 shipping fee, but the legitimacy of the reward and the entity behind it are questionable.
