Same thing happened today from 239-257-2049 Readers Inc. Also about the magazine service. They said that they've been getting a lot of calls from their readers saying that a lot of people have been calling them about their magazine subscriptions and they were not real companies, etc.
I spoke to a woman named Samantha for a long time explaining that I do not have any outstanding magazine invoices and she kept repeatedly telling me that when I signed up for the magazine that I had selected automatic renewal and that I have 60 months of service left and will be charged $69.90 and that they would reduce it to $59.90 and cancel the automatic renewal and I would be "free and clear".
I was then transferred to her supervisor that was going to give me a "security code" in case any "bad" people called about my magazines. She said if I have caller ID I could see that they are verified by AT&T as a safe company. When she asked me to verify my credit card number I flat out said I would not give it to her. She said that she already had it on file and just needed me to verify it in groups of four. Again I refused and she hung up.
This happened to me, they did have all my information - I had to cancel my bank card and get another issued. It started with 4 or 5 small (under 5.00) charges to strange companies so i called my bank and they said it was fraudulant and stopped my card immediatley. Still after 2 years they continue to call and when i say something to them i get hung up on. BEWARE!
This number continues to call saying that I signed up for magazines. They have all of my info and are trying to charge me for magazines that I did no sign up and do not want. It's a scam.
This company keeps calling my husband telling him that he is subscribed to a bunch of magazines that we never signed up for & don't get. When he told them to stop calling, the guy started getting loud & said he would not stop calling unless my husband went through the entire service & paid $3.99 (which would entail giving his credit card info - a big NO-NO). This is a scam to get bank/credit card info.
To Angel Harris
We keep getting magazines that we didn't order. The caller always asks for my husband and when I try to get more info they hang up. We didn't order any magazines. And the ones they are sending are not even anything we would read to start with. They told him that the magazines were being billed to his Visa card, which he doesn't even have. I have looked at my card as I thought perhaps when we signed up for some entertainment coupons, (that was a joke) that maybe there was a rider for magazines. Not so. They want us to pay for them which we have refused to do so. I am going to file a complaint with the Attorney General in Illinois against this company.
