I just received a call from a lady at this number about my magazine subscriptions being extended. It was extremely noisy in the background. She wanted my age and occupation. When I told her no she hung up.
We have received three calls from 312-878-1200 over the past three days (according to our caller id), but we only happened to be home for the first time last night. It says "Chicago, IL" on the caller id. A younger sounding man asked for my son, and I asked who was calling. He said "Morgan". Now, since I am pretty sure we don't know anyone named Morgan who lives in Chicago, and since there was a lot of noise in the background, I was sure it was a telemarketer. (Brilliant deduction, Watson!)
So, I asked him where he was from, or who he was calling on behalf of. He would not answer me! Seriously?! He was border-line rude, and told me he was "going to call back every day until he got to talk to my son". Really? I kept asking him where he was from, and he kept telling me he would not tell me. Are you kidding me? Do people really act like this and get paid for it?
I told him to take me off his call list. We'll see if he calls back. We did just start getting ESPN magazine in our house, but it was a gift, so I am sure we will not have billing issues. Given their mention in earlier posts, it would not surprise me if that was the source of the call.
