I got a call on my work phone from someone (no name) who claimed to be from the "gifting department" and asked if I could hear her. I didn’t know what it was and it sounded like solicitation so I hung up. I then looked up "gifting department" and found that it’s a scam. They ask if you can hear them so you’ll respond "yes", and then they use the affirmation to sign you up for a service that then demands payment.

I’ve been receiving several phone calls from different numbers with a (509) area code, saying they are from the "gifting department". Once they stated that by pressing "1" I’d be removed from their call list. I did, and soon after I received another call from a different (509) number with the same "gifting department" line.
