Contacted by phone, caller id Richard, K 413-553-0746, male sayign he was with Central Periodical services questioning if I had received my free voucher. I had no idea what he was talking about. I then thought this a magazine company that was tied to another promotion through USA Benefits. I had cancelled all of that when I had received a letter saying I was going to be charged $39.95 a month. I told this subject that I had cancelled all of that promotion through the 800 numbers that had been provided through initial contact. Subject wanted by age to verify who I was. I refused to give any personal information over the phone. I demanded that all information and whatever they had be cancelled immediately. He then told me that if I did not co-operate and give him my correct age that he had no choice but to renew my account for another 5 years. I told him 'oh no you won't.' and asked to speak to a manager. The manager, a female. Came on the line. I told her that the subject had threatened me with another 5 year contract. She informed me that that wasn't a threat. I demanded that whatever they had be cancelled immediately. She responded the she could cancel any renewals but that I would be billed $49.95 per month through September. I have never received anything from this company nor do I have any magazine subscritpions. I told this to the female. Her response was that their shipping department had been running behind and that I would be receiving information in 3 to 5 business days.
This is a FRAUD. I had asked the male I had had on phone first for a 800 number. He gave 888-299-7302. If you call this number, it does not identify as Central Periodical Services. It gives 3 options which 1 is customer service, and 3 is to request you be taken off the calling list. If you try option 1, it gives business hours and that they are EST, then strates they are closed. This is a TOTAL rip off.
