Got a call from them. Didnt recognize the number ignored it. Called back was greeted with "Hello?" then call disconnected. Called back and asked what the call was for. She asked for my name. I stated what is this company. And she said magazine...uh...magazine subscription for a free gift. I asked if she could remove my name. And she said sir if you wont give my name I will hang up. So she did. I called back and asked why did she hang up and she said sorry was disconnected. I gave her my number to remove from list and she says "OH MY GOD sir we won't call you anymore" then hung up. [***] incredible.
Keep getting a call from this number and they never leave a message. Tonight, they called and when they asked for my husband, I told them that he wasn't here and she said ok, bye and hung up before I could ask who was calling. Anyone have any idea who this is? It is annoying to keep getting up to answer calls that need to be screened since they aren't familiar.
Caller claimed falsely that we had had a previous long conversation about renewing my National Geographic subscription and claimed the rates were going up but she could offer me a renewal at the current rate. She quoted a rate considerably higher than NG presently charges and when I asked her if she was calling from NG, she said no, she was a subscription service. Since I get these scam calls fairly often, I said I didn't think she was offering a legitimate service. She got flustered and defensive and then hung up! Out of curiosity, I called the number back and got a pre-recorded message about some free texting service that was totally unrelated. It's obviously a scam and I reported them to the National Do Not Call Registry.
