ExiledInIllinois Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Yep. I plugged my phone #s in yesterday and two of them were called/are in database. My cell, and landline. I filled out the online form to get in on it. Hearing is in April of next year.
Just Jack Posted August 17, 2017 Author Posted August 17, 2017 Yep. I plugged my phone #s in yesterday and two of them were called/are in database. My cell, and landline. My cell was not. I wish I could remember my old landline number I had during that time period.
Just Jack Posted August 17, 2017 Author Posted August 17, 2017 I put in Jacks number and got nothing I put in your number and it said the cops are coming to get me.
Saxum Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 I've been called many times but my number is not in database.
That's No Moon Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 We got a winner. I'll be awaiting my $900. Hafta check my parents numbers tomorrow.
hemma Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 I have gotten a Robocall from somebody pushing Google Maps every weekday for 2 solid years. Monday -> Friday for 2 years. Never missed a weekday. When they catch up to these worms, I will hop on the lawsuit with both feet.
Kevbeau Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Have two eligible numbers. They capped the fund at 12.5 mil...Guessing by the time this makes the rounds and after legal fees claimants will be getting checks for $1.43.

Or worse, we will get MORE robocalls now... Ha! I was thinking, did I just fall off the pumpkin truck, I am probably in a bigger database now. But, as theu say, You gotta be in it to win it!" :-/
WhoTom Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Thank you! My cell # is on the list. Claim submitted.
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Thank you! My cell # is on the list. Claim submitted. No. Screw you Jack... This was my little secret! Now, everybody's gonna ruin my $900... & I spent it already! :-P
WhoTom Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 No. Screw you Jack... This was my little secret! Now, everybody's gonna ruin my $900... & I spent it already! :-P Then you'll be really bummed to know that I just tweeted it to my 10 million followers. ;-)
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Then you'll be really bummed to know that I just tweeted it to my 10 million followers. ;-) Son of a... :-(
unbillievable Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Someone promises money sometime in the future and people immediately input their phone numbers into an anonymous database.... ....how many of you guys want to help out my friend, a Nigerian Prince?
Just Jack Posted August 17, 2017 Author Posted August 17, 2017 ....how many of you guys want to help out my friend, a Nigerian Prince? Shhh.... you and I have an agreement to split it 50/50 when it arrives......
Captain_Quint Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 I remember the calls. When you picked up the phone, there was about 2 seconds of silence, then a giant foghorn sound and someone saying "Welcome aboard!" They came in repeatedly, week after week. I think I smashed an old cordless phone at some point because of them.
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) I remember the calls. When you picked up the phone, there was about 2 seconds of silence, then a giant foghorn sound and someone saying "Welcome aboard!" They came in repeatedly, week after week. I think I smashed an old cordless phone at some point because of them. LoL. I simply don't answer calls that I don't know... Screen everything. Now, except those IRS calls... I love messing with them. If it is a foreign, male accent, first thing I do is call them ma'am... That gets them primed. Anyway. I hope 99¢ gets you a new phone. Oh... If numbers are varified with database. So that is a finite number. $12.5 million / $300 is 41k numbers. Edited August 17, 2017 by ExiledInIllinois
