Magazine Subscriptions that I do NOT HAVE.....
This call is either the same or similiar to what I recently received from U.S. Reader, again for a subscription that I do not nor ever did have.....It is a SCAM.....that I never respond too.
The last purported to renew READERS DIGEST...Hah, a pre-printed scam given to each telemarketer to solicit fraudulent activities to obtain payment information for a product never to be delivered.
Wastes my time of which I have little to devote to this crap.....BLOCK THEM OUT. !
Just received 8 (from 2:57-4:47 PM) calls from 727-499-0769 to verify a renewal of my magazines. It was Laura Anderson who said she was from American Readers. Claimed I had always renewed with them....... I had not.
They wanted me to verify my CC# ( a VISA starting with 4, which I know all Visa's start with). I Hung up on them but she kept calling back. Wondered why I was being so difficult because I would not verify my CC# to renew magazines I not longer receive.Would not take NO for an answer. I told them I was going to report them if they called again.
The phone # they gave me was 855-455-6205 but I had the other number in my phone.
Still getting calls from them............ don't pick up. Today got an Order Confirmation letter.......... magazines I have never , ever ordered and one I had never heard of. Called local State Police to see if they had had similar reports........ they had not. Contacted someone with Secret Service who is going to check it out for me. This harassment it going too far.
I think they have changed the name from US Readers to American Readers to throw people off thinking it is a different company.
When American Readers called I thought they were correcting a error I may have made when I orders some magazine eariler. My exp. date had just been remewed, and I thought I had put down the old one. so I gave it to the fast talking lady. I had orderd the magazines from other compamies,but she knew all about them. She gave me a total of over $600. for 3 years. I lold her No way , I only ordered a 1 yr at a time. She said soneone else would call. When he called I tould him no way, & he said that I had made the order & it could not be cancelled. I hung up, call my bank that issued the card, she put me with the card company, who cancelled that card, and issued me a new one that will be here in a week
