Prudential Life - Datamex Scam

Last week, I received a call in the office from Prudential Life agent informing me that I won a 2 yr scholarship from Datamex school because it’s Prudential Life’s 29th Anniversary. The girl told me someone who’s working or related on Prudential Life referred me and we are only 15 persons who won that scholarship. I don’t remember anyone from Prudential Life so I asked who is that their talking about and said they cannot traced it because it came from their main office. Hmmmm!…Suspicious. Then they said that I just need to claim it on their office also here in Makati and present 3 valid IDs (company ID, sss ID, any CREDIT CARD ID). And I’ve just said “ok, I’ll try if I can claim that”. I just have said that but I really don’t believed on her or something like this and I remembered it’s christmas season, there are too many modus operandi scattered around, I had a hunch it’s a scam. 

Then the next day and days passed, she keeps on calling and texting me, I even said that I really have no time to claim it and it’s okay if they disregard my scholarship but she is insisting that they’re going to wait me etc. etc. Then yesterday, I had a call from their own supervisor that they really want me to claim it, All I have to do is to present the id and I have nothing to pay, the scholarship is all for free, they even said that they will not waste their time to call me if they are just fooling me, I don’t know what comes to my mind maybe the supervisor is more convincing so I have said okay, i’ll try to drop by at ur office at lunch break. But before going there, I googled the school datamex and the map of their office address. The school does exists so it lessen my doubt but one result of my search caught my eyes and it said “Pudential Life - Datamex Scam”. Oh! Thank God I have seen and read this. Yes it’s a scam, they will try to sell you insurance by Prudential Life or according to others, they will insist you to present a credit card for verification and will swipe it then all of a sudden you had purchased something you really don’t need or want to. To end the story, I texted them that I cannot come because there is an emergency work in the office, I didn’t tell them directly that I found out their modus operandi. then they called me immediately and asked me what happened that all of a sudden I changed my mind. I just said i’m just not interested anymore and please stop calling me!

There are more stories over the net if you search this scam. I want to warn you guys of this shameless people who are wasting our time and just fooling us around.
