I just got a call from a young lady named Angie, a rep from another company called MBA (Mass Bounty Affiliates), who claims that someone from Wealthy Affiliates told her to cont
It is a scam never heard of anyone getting a phone call you would get a email from Kyle or Carson if it was real all the best
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. As well known as Kyle and Carson are, when I asked the lady who exactly referred her, she couldn't produce a name. Definitely a red light.
This happened to me when I signed up with Aweber, suddenly my phone started to ring. Also when you set up a new web site, crawlers scan the web, grab your info, everything you used to set up the web site. Most providers offer a free one year service where no one can see your sign up info. Open source is an ongoing issue with people who think they are just providing info to the service they request, but actually it available to open source (the public) with a simple search. Just my two cents
Oh I see. I believe this also happens when you don't make your domain private. I remember reading that somewhere...something about a WhoIs list.
I did recently sign up with iContact. But I know that all of us by now have a very strong presence on the web, and we are somewhat vulnerable to solicitations.
I appreciate your two cents...more valuable than you think.
I haven't received this call! Sure sounds like a scam! But maybe you will here something else from someone here.
What about caller ID???
You still have the intel within you cell (phone)?
Let us see what you have.
That's a landline in LaJolla, California. Since WA is headquartered in western Canada. . . hmmm
If you get any wonky calls again, go to whitepages.com, select "phone," and plug in the number. It's a reverse telephone directory. It's rare you'll find out who it is, but it will tell you WHERE it's coming from.
Just called it. Some gal answered with a company name. Almost sounded like an answering service. Yet maybe not. Although, she did sound like I'd just woke her up from sleep. Philippines?
Call forwarding is way too easy to set up. I ran into a gal who was being scammed out of some cash by a guy living in the mid east. He had a legit business address & phone # here in the States. Collected all sorts of information & turned it over to the FBI. The connections went from the States to the Mid East to Indonesia to India to where ever else I did not trace it / him to.
So be cool & stay with the common sense.
Wow! She mentioned it was a free service. But it just all sounded too fishy. I didn't accept it...even if it was for free.
Thanks for digging into this. You never could be too careful these days.
Hey -I hear ya.
Here’s a 7-minute sidetrack fer ya. Go big screen & head phones, if gotz.
A dinasour band, yet he was @ my rival High School. (Don’t tell anybody –ok?)
Sorry for the fer-mer-cials.

No I haven't gotten a call like that. Good for you for asking questions and declining their help. How did they get your phone number?
Don't worry too much about it. If they call you again, ask them how did they get your phone number. Let them know you will report them. I'm sure they did some scammy stuff to get your number. Don't feel vulnerable.
Sounds suspect I do not think WA would do that this has happened to a couple of other members a bit ago, I have not received such a call, you have got to be careful, they are a completely different company
Sounds bogus to me. I doubt WA would do this. I guess there are some companies that can scan websites, especially if you have a siterubix.com site and know who you're affiliated with. I still wouldn't do anything with this except hang up.

Anyone get a phone call from mba or mass bounty affiliates?

I've never heard of them, nor gotten any calls. I know WA would not give out or sell your private, personal information. That is just bazaar. I've never heard of anything else like that here. One thing great about the phone, you hold total power over the person on the other end. That power is "hang up". ;-) Best regards.

You are exactly right.
