They called and said they were with The Atlantic Magazine. Said they had a 3-year renewal offer. Sounded good so I said sure. Repeated all my personal information back to me including wife's name to "confirm" the mailing before transferring me to the "supervisor". The guy asked for my credit card number, told him never mind, he asked why I'd changed my mind, said I suddenly felt I couldn't trust him, he asked why I'd wasted his employee's time (anger in his voice), then I hung up.
That number shows up on my missed calls 20 times, with 16 of those on one day. The same as everyone else, when I call the number, I receive a message that the number is no longer in use.
got 2 calls from them this morning, first time when I said hello, it hung up right away. 2nd time I answered, a guy talked and asked to speak with Ms. XXXX, and I said 'this is her', then he hung up the phone right away. I was like ?????.
Googled this number and added it to auto reject list now.
What I have been doing is to click on answer and then click end right away, not even allowing the call to go to my voicemail. (which there is never any message from them). I think and hope that will work. Sometimes the phone rings right back cause I didn't give it time to disconnect but I just repeat the process. It gives me some satisfaction that the call did not go thru. The calls have lessened.
