Yesterday, October 17 between 7:00pm-8:00pm my roommate, LaToyia, received a phone call for me. When she gave me the phone he told me his name was Will. He told me about the sweepstakes of $50,000 and the magazines Vibe, Campus Life, and Jet. I just hung up.
Today, October 18, I had a phone call around 10:00 am from a woman named Diane, who offered the same sweepstakes of $50,000.in order for me to enter the sweepstakes, I had to purchase 4 magazines that cost $3.85 a week for 48 weeks.
In addition to the 4 magazines she threw in a free women diamond watch. After I talked to her, she transferred my call to the same guy with the same voice named Will, who asked for to validate my credit number. I told him I didn't want the magazines but he kept harassing me. While I was telling him I didn't want it, my roommate heard me refusing to buy.
"I don't want the magazines anymore, I changed my mind, " I said.
"What do you mean you changed your mind, " he asked. "What, you do want the magazines anymore, why" he asked very agressive again. "I'll throw in an additional magazine, " he said. And you'll get the next 12 weeks free;you'll only pay for the first weeks", he added.
"Well, if I take this will I be able to cancel anytime", I asked.
"Yes you can when you get it in yhe mail", he answered.
He told me that he would take the money out now, but I told him not to take it out today. He said that he would take the money out in a month and I said okay.
As soon as I got off the phone I called my bank to check my account and the money was gone. After I found that out, I closed my account.
