I got a call from them today at work. It sounded like a scam to me, but I wasn't sure. I gave out my cell and my PO Box not my home address just in case. I picked out the 6 free magazines and told her I wanted the Target gift card. The woman I spoke to said the same thing about the $1.99 per week or $8.60 per month. I told her I wanted to be billed. She said that wouldn't be a problem. She told me that her supervisor would call me back to make sure she had taken my information down correctly. When her supervisor called back about 10 minutes later she tried to get me to pay $17.20 in advance with my credit card or checking account number. Once she said that I knew it was a scam. I told her that they could bill me after I received the magazines, but not before. She said that they would send the first magazines via Fed Ex then I could pay the delivery guy the $17.20 (I don't know if Fed Ex even does this). I told her that I thought their offer was a scam. She told me that they had been in business for 25 years and I could check with the Better Business Bureau. I told her never mind, that I wasn't interested. Both women were very smooth. I guess you have to be when you're trying to scam people. As the saying goes - If it sounds to good to be true it probably is.
