Somehow I started receiving Bon Appetit magazine in the mail. Didn't really think anything of it. I received a subscription renewal notice, to which I responded please cancel! NOT interested! A couple of weeks later, they started calling my parents' home MULTIPLE (10-12) times a day starting around 8:00 a.m. They leave no message, but when my parents DO answer, they insist on speaking to me (I married and moved over 3 years ago!!) My parents tell them I no longer live there and they have actually told my parents ( Yes, TOLD) that it was imperative that they give the company my phone number!! I've NEVER ordered their magazine, nor do I wish to, yet these people will not take NOT INTERESTED for an answer!!

Last two days received call from phone caller id says Bon Appetite supposedly from 201-257-4051. I happen to be a Bon Appetite magazine subscriber so today I answered knowing fully that this caller was almost 100percent a scam. Sure enough sales person gives sales pitch of 80percent off sub price since I am a current customer. All the while you hear the usual telemarketer background noises. I explained to gentleman that I had had a scam experience with same phone sales pitch with a fake scamming salesperson claiming to be with Saveur magazine prior and so I would not subscribe over phone sales calls but only thru mail with ligit Bon Appetite. He claimed to be ligit but I still declined. Well GUESS WHAT!! Same as I did with Saveur, I called Bon Appetite this morning at their main subscription number listed in the back of their magazine at 800-765-9419. As I expected, same as Saveur, Bon Appetite does not solicit their subscriptions by phone. IT IS NOT THE REAL BON APPETITE. I made her aware of the scam and the phone number and she will report it to whoever needs to know at Bon Appetite. So everyone, it is another bunch of lying, greedy creeps trying to get your money. Ignore them or tell them off as I did the fake Saveur people. I wrote them a letter in response to a fake bill from them and let them know they were a scam and shame on them. Never heard from them again.
Got a call from this number yesterday (12/11/2015) at around 10:30 AM. Caller ID showed "Out of area 1-201-257-4051". Anytime I don't recognize the number, I let it roll thru to voice mail. Whoever it was left no message. Checked the 800Notes website here; and saw the comments about how these guys claim to be with Bon Appetit. I happen to be a subscriber to Bon Appetit magazine; but (a) they have no reason to contact me; and (b) if they were at all legit, they would have left a voice mail message instead of just hanging up. I don't really care who these clowns are, or what they want. I added their number to my Call Block List; so they won't be able to get thru to me any more -- at least not with that Caller ID.
