I got a call from a guy calling about my subscription to the Chicago Tribune ( I am not a subscriber, and I live in Florida) then he said something about my visa, and said you're on auto renewal, right?
I told him 'no' and he hung up right away. Not sure what he was trying to do...but doubt anything about it was legit. Sounded like a scam trying to happen.
This is a solicitor for the Chicago Tribune. A second party firm. I had replied via e-mail that I wasn't interested in renewing a subscription that was a gift. My next call is to the Illinois commerce commission. Don't bother with the better business bureau that's like complaining to Yelp or Angies List.
