I have no problem using my real name since I turned them into the BBB. I have Oasis and I am not happy. They are rude on the phone when you want to cancel. They told me I would save 20% off my bill when I am paying 10% above Pennsylvania Power and Lights. Then they said I verbally signed a contract for 2 years and I dont remember saying they are my company for 2 years after they told me I could switch back any time but I will recieve a lower rate than PPL for 2 years. There has been over 12 complaints in the past year from 3.2011 to 11.2011 and mine will make 13. They have a F rating with the BBB.Do not use them.
Got a call this morning from this number - said he was going to sell us 8 weeks of the Sunday LA Times for $8 and give us a $10 gift card to Target. When I asked him how I could know that this was not a scam (we are on the Do Not Call list, after all, and are not LA Times subscribers and never have been), he gave me the number and the name of his manager and said the company was based in St. Paul, MN. Then he hung up on me.
Just received a call from the ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL newspaper regarding a new subscription to the Journal. I asked for prices which seemed reasonable but before I gave them my credit card number I thought I'd check it out. The caller gave me this number 651-255-5842 as a call back number. I called the Albuquerque Journal and was told they are using this service to increase their newspaper subscriptions. The prices that were offered to me by the telemarketing service were 10% less than going directly through the Albuquerque Journal direwebsite. This IS a LEGITIMATE number for the ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL.
I got 4 calls from a company alleging to be the Baltimore Sun. I asked if they were directly from the Sun or a 3rd party. Its definitely a scam. The first 4 people wouldn't leave a call back number and just hung up on me. The 4th finally did and that's how I ended up on the message board.
