Same as above mostly, except we paid for the mags with check and he was saying our CC would have a monthly reoccuring charge. Asked to speak to Accounting and he said he needed additional personnel information to process this because it was a automated system. When I refused further info, and demanded to talk to his supervisor or accounting office, HE HUNG UP! SCAM verified through Maxim Magazine from there HQs accounting department. Here is Maxim Official Business address:
Just got a call from this number: A "Willie Banks" told me I needed to pay for "my magazine subscriptions to Maxim, ESPN, Sports Illustrated". I told him I never ordered any magazines. He said he would turn it over to a debt collection agency. I asked him for his name again, this time he said he was "Willie Mitchell". I screamed and yelled at this a**hole, called him every name in the book. He hung up. Tomorrow I call the Kansas Attorney General's office to report these jerks.
This 1st happened to me in August of this year and yes I got suckered by these con-artists, posers, trying to be a magazine company! They called my cell number and said I was entered in a sweepstakes to have a chance to win a gold watch and would receive some magazines with the cost of $68 and a membership charge of $29.99. Sure enough I didn't anything from them until late October (2 months later).
Then these assclowns ripped into my account and pinched me for another $39.95! WTF?!?! Then they kept calling trying to pinch me for more money and I asked them to take me off thir list and sent me to customer service and if I called them they would charge me much more money. I hung up on these [***]!
These bozos have consistently have been calling my cell telling me they want an additional $39.99 for renew some magazines. And now they're trying to get my card info to privatize their number from calling again and they just called my house! They can keep calling all they want to but they aren't getting one red penny from me!
The company is supposedly called NRS (National Reader's Subscription) or something like that.
Same story as pretty much everyone else. Guy called and said he worked for the company that services my magazines and wanted to lower my payments. Except I don't get any magazines. I hung up and he called back 3 more times which I let go to voicemail. The thing I don't get is I have all my numbers registered on the national do not call list. How is it these companies can get away with this when they are obviously telemarketers.
They have called me several times asking for Timothy. I told them that Tim died a couple weeks. Dude didn't know what to say, just stammered and hung up.
