Recently I received a very inviting offer to subscribe to N.M.E. (National Magazine Exchange). I spoke to a representative who offered me three different magazines for only $1.29 total for a period of 9 months. Along with the three magazines, they were sending me two ladies diamond watches, plus an address book as gifts. My name would also be added to their sweepstakes for $2,100, 000.00. Doesn't this sound wonderful? I have always been skeptical of such unbelievable offers.
I was connected to the supervisor who in turn wanted detailed information about my credit card.
Before offering him this vital information I questioned the name, address and authenticity of his company. Nowadays there is always a scam around the corner, so you have to take precautions.
The supervisor stated that he would not misrepresent the magazines' name and verified the information on the letter. I still was not convinced. I asked him to send me a bill, but he insisted on obtaining my credit card information.
I did not feel comfortable at this point, so I let him know I would call him back after researching the company on the Internet. He then proceeded to say, "I am now canceling your order, thank you and have a nice day." He was very abrupt and hung the phone up before I could respond.
I researched their "N.M.E." on the Internet and did not find positive feedback from past customers. So beware of companies that bear gifts with low cost!
