I'm the one who called u.10 days later I quit. I had more questions than answers. We told it as it had been told to us. In reading reports posted to this company I've found many discrepancies. Unless one ok's transaction NO ONE can be charged for anything-here or anywhere else for that matter.No messages left because of time constraint-I'd usually leave one if the voice mail mentioned JESUS! and I'd thank them for doing so.Names are rotated through each caller trying to reach as many candidates as possible. No big mystery. Gimmicks are not a bad thing unless they are missused. I am very saddened @ how many reports I read concerning verbal abuse.U don't read how WE were talked 2by public tho. There's disfunction on both ends! Experiences & personalities, I suppose.Lies told, too. This is where I,K, confront you, "I am annoyed".Ur blog said my southern accent(by the way,it's a DRAWL from Mississippi) would disappear altogether? I WISH! I'm 50 & I'veTRIED 2 lose it!U LIED on me but it's2 funny4 me2B mad@U! :)
Received 2 phone calls: 1st on 9/19/08 @ 5:58 pm (EST) from 310-370-9172 said they were from Publishers Headquarters asked my name and hung up & 2nd was today 9/25/08 @ 3:15 pm (EST) same M.O. asked for my name and hung up. I am also on the "do not call" list...which in my opinion doesn't work. Still get solicitor phone calls. I will do the whistle trick and then just will not answer the phone anymore...its a shame how these solicitors are so relentless.
Call received today. I am entered to win a contast automatically..etc etc. Asked me for some info "as we like to have background info on our winners" -- when I said that I wasn't comfortable, they hung up.
i received a call from Publishers Headquarters out of California ask to speak with someone in my household when I refused to tell her who the person on the phone was unless she told me the reason for the call she got mad. I told her not to call again and hang up. A minute later the same person called to curse at me in Spanish.
A younger polite sounding woman called me to tell me I was entered in a prefered customer sweepstakes contest with a drawing on December 31 where I could win a 2007 Chevy Equinox or $25,000. I was to be verified by mail. I never entered a contest, but they told me I was a finalist and I had a free prescription to six magazines (Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping and a few others)for 48 months. She asked me to verify my address(information I had not given her). Then she said they liked to know backround information on there finalists and asked me my age. When I said 16 she hung up.
I answered the phone today.
A woman with an accent:"I am Tiffany, calling from a publishing company in California.
Me:"What do you want?"
Her:"That's a very rude thing to say."
Me:"Pardon me. Let me rephrase that. What do you want, [***]?"
I then hung up.
