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.
Has called here twice today (so far). I don't pick up, it doesn't leave a message. "Pittsburgh, PA" in caller ID - the "City, State" format is a dead giveaway that it's a scam.
Called my cell. Said it was call Ng card that needed re activated. I have a relationship with someone that's in a rehab clinic right now and I got them a called ng card so I pressed 1 to reactivate it. Then it said press 1 to authorize bank card. I hung up. Never heard back. It was a scam that almost got me.
