Have You Received a Scam Phone Call?

Don't send them money nor give them any credit card, bank account or other
personal information!

Report received, April 18, 2008:
I got a call from a company called APEX they told me i
was there valued customer and that i was reciving a free gift which consisted of
plane tickets. At the time i thought it was too good to be true because im in
the army and my car is in the shop for some major repairs and i needed to get
home to attend for a family situation. They asked for a $1.25 for shiping me
these tickets so i said ok and then they wanted my bank account and social i
told them that i didnt feel comfortable but they said that it wasnt a scam and
that they work with the better business beauro so i gave it to them a week later
i got a box in the mail with no plane tickets and a bottle of slim pills. Then a
week later they took $170.00 out of my account. what do i do to fix this?
