Just got a call from these scumbags. Rude [***] pushy scumbags trying to steal our hard earned money. Beware they are trying to rob you. DO NOT give them your CC numbers.
Received a call from them saying that they were from TV Guide. They said that they were charging my card 800 dollars unless I gave them my credit card information today, and they would renew me at a low rate. My subscription for TV Guide is paid, and I have never paid it with a credit card. They also told me that TV Guide has stopped accepting checks. I called the actual TV Guide company and they confirmed that I am in good standing with them, and the call was clearly a scam. Beware!
This number called and harrassed my mother. They stated they were from TV Guide or something and my mother believed them. They told her they were going to take $400 out of her account for soap opera digest. This just happened so I am trying to look them up. They stated that she has to pay the $400. Now, my mother is all upsent thinking they are going to charge her account. The thing is, she didn't give them her credit card number or anything. Thank goodness. I called this number back multiple times with a private number. It would ring a few times and the person would hang up. Finally, it was busy. Then, it would ring forever and someone would finally pick up but sit on the phone. If any of you get a call from this number, beware. They had my poor mom in tears
Same as stated above. I'd just gotten up and was catching bits and pieces
of a conversation my mom was having. She rarely gets riled up and is
Excellent with money management. She was riled up. This "company"
Was trying to renew a Soap Opera Digest for 3 years. Round and round
they went. First a woman caller. When she was unsuccessful a man
called and she gave out credit card info. By this point I found out she
originally paid by check. I told her to call her CC card company immediately
disable the account. Less than 5 minutes later the guy called back and we
left it unanswered. Now I'm hoping he try's again so I can light him up. Beware.
They are bullying intimidating a-holes.

My mother just received a call from 786-235-5683 and the girl Danielle asked how my mother was enjoying her Soap Opera subscription and then told my mother was resubscribed until 2016 for $800.
I heard my mother explain that she wasnt happy with the service and wanted to cancel but the woman was arguing with her that she needed to give her cc number. My mother is sick and has only a few months left (cancer) and told the woman that. thats when i took the phone from my mother and asked what this was all about. Danielle (probably a fake name) ask if knew what day my mother was going to die!!!!! WTF??!!??!!?? I was fumed. I asked her if she was effing serious to which she replied she was effing serious and hung up.
I called Soap Opera Digest who said my mothers subscription was a year subscription ending this month. and she refered me to Budget Reading Subco that handles my moms subscription they told me there was no such $800 charge so I looked up the caller ID on the phone. The name was listed as Amir Marketing so i googled the number 786-235-5683.
these scum bags are now going to be reported to the FTC and the Attorney Generals office.
