Gay scammer Mike Lillibridge of JCS Enterprises may be involved in this scam. He sells personal information of people he gathers from giveaways at events, and he is involved with many gay magazine and other porn. It would be no surprise therefore to believe he'd be mixed up in this magazine scam.
I just received a call from this number. I was out of the room and my son answered my cell phone. It is another one of those magazine companies trying to sell you magazines. They send you mags then call you to see if you are getting them. If you tell them yes they try and tell you that they need your cc number to verify that they have the right person. I am not sure how these ppl are getting the last 4 numbers on your cc, but they do have them.
I received a call last Sat morning from Coast to Coast renewal saying the same thing. That number is 406-838-5003.
Also, I told both callers that I do not receive magazines, hoping they will stop sending them and calling. I can't get it through their heads that I am not being billed for the magazines. Most ppl give the whole number for verification. At that point they start billing them $59. or more peer month. Ppl need to know that they should call the cc company, explain the problem and have the card cancelled and a new one issued. It is the only way to protect your credit. Also report it to the DNC list. If enough ppl do this the government should stop them.
I just received a call from this number, same story- calling to see if I am getting my magazines okay. When I asked which magazines they were referring to, they stated that for privacy purposes, they could not tell me this until I verified information. Then the caller mentioned that the magazines were on auto-renewal and that if I wanted to stop that I needed to verify my information. I went so far as to verify my address, then he asked me to verify my age, and then I knew for sure that they were fishing for information, and realized that I know darn well which magazines I get and that none are on any kind of auto-renewal, so I ended the conversation. Definitely they are up to something nefarious, and they were extremely vague about who they were representing. If you are on the do not call registry, report them, I did!
I too was one that fell to this type of scam. Paid out the a$$ to get them to stop service, but that just meant my number has been pimped out to all of the other groups. Now when they call, I will either politely tell them that I should not be receiving any magazines or just screw with them a little by using loud noises on the call, acting like I'm someone else, or something else like that.
