I received calls from this number three or four times over the course of two days and they never left a message. Finally I called the number and was connected with "Danny" who sounded as unprofessional a humanly possible. I had to ask him four times what company he worked for, all the time while he tried to railroad me in conversation. Finally he mentioned Viking Magazine was who he worked for. A few years ago I tried signing up for this magazine company, and then had to change credit cards because they kept constantly trying to charge my card $69.00 each month. Now, this Danny character said that they had to renew my contract with them because the charges for renewal are not going through on the credit card that they had on file. I told him I did not want to renew anything with their company and he ignored me, saying he needed a credit card to renew. I told him to take my name off of whatever calling list they had and to never call me again. He got flustered and hung up on me.
Just received a call from this number. No message, called the number back and voicemail said to hold for next available representative. After looking up the number and finding this site, I have blocked the number on my cell for any future calls from them. I was already scammed once years ago for magazines I did not order, they tried charging me $1,600.. that company(blue whale) refused to cancel the order and continued billing my credit card, harrassing me daily on my cell until I finally had enough , reported it to my creditor and cancelled my credit card.
I've dealt with Viking Magazine for years now. They simply wont leave us alone. They keep on trying to get us to buy more magazines. My husband got some subscriptions through them before leaving for Iraq, hoping to give our sons some subscriptions to gaming mags, etc. OMG they will never leave us alone. This was 2005, and somehow, around a year later, they got me to inform them it was OK to go ahead and continue the service, even though I never authorized the first one (by confirming this and that had already happened, etc). Pretty sneaky, and I learned alot from it. The National Geographic contacted me a few months ago, asking me if I'd like to renew. I told them I got their subscription years ago through Viking, (the National Geographic apparently hasnt ever heard of Viking Magazine) but never got any of the magazines, all those years. They WILL make up for it, by sending you three copies of the same thing. Apparently. For years. No matter how much you complain. Now I am getting my National Geographic that I wanted to have all those years. I think Nat Geo took care of it for me. I thank them. NOT Viking Magazine.
