A Call from "America"

I have just received two calls from "America" today and both times they have not answered my questions. In fact both times they have hung up on me. Now I'll tell you how the last one went:

Caller: Hi Christopher?

Me: Yes?

Caller: Hi my name is ******* (blanked for convenience) and I'm calling from "America" to tell you that you entered a contest online for a trip to Universal studios and I want toe tell you....

Me (inturrupting): I WOOOONN!!!!!!

Caller: yeah uhh....

Me: So what do you want from me?

Caller: I don't....

Me: well "America" called me earlier and I was just wondering what you really want.

Caller: I want to send you your travel package.

Me: well that's good!

Caller: Now I see that your birthday is December 31st 1980...

Me: ok

Caller: Is it?

Me: yes....

Caller: And I see that you are at 91 Louisa is that correct?

Me: Yeah, where did you get this information?

Caller: From online...

Me: From where online? What website?

Caller: From your e-mail...

Me: Which e-mail? I have 4 or 5 of them I would like to know which one....

Caller: Well I see you are a customer with Visa.

Friend: That's probably where they got it.

Me (to friend): Do you think they got it from Visa? TD is usually pretty good about not giving out information (to caller) Where did you get all this information did you hack Facebook or something

Caller: *click*

Me: Oh well they'll call again.
