I was driving on my way to work one night, and was in a particularly good mood. An unavailable number came on the phone, as it had previously, about 5 times the day before. I answered it, and it SOUNDED as though it was a teenager doing a quick survey for a company.
Technically true. After his survey was over, he said he would turn me over to his manager, to rate his performance. Turns out they are selling magazines. The choices he made for me were good, but I wasn't sure if this was a good idea at the time. I told him that I wasn't interested and hung up.
Two minutes went by, continuing down the road, before I got another call. I answered, and it was the manager. He said he could do an introductory rate or something to that effect, and I hung up. I had already told him no. I get to work, hanging out with my co-workers in the break room, and he calls AGAIN. He was fairly sure his company dropped the connection.
I say sure, probably. He drops the rate down to enough that I would actually pay for, so I tell him I'll call him in the morning. Se says it'll only take a couple of minutes of my time, practically dragging me through the process. A couple of minutes, by the way, turns out to be 15-20.
Ever since that call, I've seen nothing of the product promised me, only harassing calls to my home, payment reminders, etc. That's it. Got a call about 30 minutes ago, so I came online to investigate. I am relatively young, and got duped.
If they want another payment out of me, which is coming July 3rd, they had better have magazines for me to look at by then. I don't make money and give it away for free. Period. Several attempts to contact their customer help have turned up negative. If anyone has any follow-ups on this, please keep me posted.
