A woman from a publishers clearing house called me on 6/24/08 at 5:51 in the afternoon. She asked to verify my address and said I had won a watch which type did I want, was entitled to some magazines and wanted to send me some complimentary weekly magazines. It wasn't convenient to talk to her at the moment and I didn't want any magazines, so she hung up. After I hung up, I wondered how they had gotten my cell number so I dialed back (310-370-9486) and only got busy signals. I just got a hang up call from the same number, reverse traced it and found all of these comments. I've got some company checking to make sure no one steals my identity, I hope they really work
This place is a complete and total scam. I have a ton of magazine subscriptions already and they seemed semi-legit at the time. (I know, my bad) So I went along with it, but then when I got the info pacakge in the mail that told me I was actually getting 4 years of subscriptions of 5 different magainzes, I called immediately and told them to cancel. They argued with me that this wasnt possible and reminded me that they already had my credit card information. Mind you, this was before I even got a single magazine in the mail. I immediately changed my CC # and still got magazines in the mail. They continue to call me for payment and I keep telling them they never should have sent me magazines and that they should stop sending them...I STILL get all the magainzes and basically just am a [***] to them when they call. They are a total SCAM and avoid at all costs.
I actually got the same call and they offered me the sweepstakes prizes and at no point did they say I won, they said I had a chance to win and offered me a magazine promotion (buy one get six free deal) and I actually bought them and I subscribe to a weekly magazine and there was no fraud and I received my welcome package my watch and my magazines.
I received a call two times from this number, the first was a couple weeks ago and she verified my name and address and said i was a finalist and could win either $25,000 or a brand new Chevy Equinox. I dont believe they offered me magazines though. And last night another woman called back again to verify and I said someone had already contacted me and she said that it was her first day and she must have grabbed the wrong pile of cards.
