this number calls and there is no one on the other end. It has that dead electronic quality of no open line. I suspect a predictive dialer that doesn't have enough live operators to grab the dispersed calls.

Second or third call today. This time the predictive dialer assigned the call in time. Magazine company, asked for my wife. When I asked who is this, they said something cryptic for their name, and "just a courtesy call". Probably trying for renewals.

I got a call from this number 3 - 4 times every day during the week! And when I checked my answering machine, there was a message but it was silent. So annoying! QUIT CALLING ME!

They called asking for personal information regarding the credit cards I am using, my age, my income and what school I go to. I only confirmed my address, but I am worried that they might be able to do something with that even though I didn't answer their other questions.

Numerous calls and when I answer, no one is on other end.

I found this forum because I had a call last night that I didn't answer on purpose and then today while I happened to stop in I got the same call from Fort Myers Florida. So I answered it and it was a friendly girl named Megan saying that she was from Reader Magazine (I think) and had been getting complaints that magazines have been showing up torn in the mailboxes. Asked me what magazines I got. I told her she should know since she feels I get them from her. She said she didn't know. And that this was not a sales call. I said that I don't even think we get a magazine here. She said we did and asked me which ones I liked the best. I played around and gave her some fake names. Then the sales pitch started and I frustrated her into letting me go.
Could this be a scam. I didn't let her finish so I don't know. But it sure smelled and tasted like it. The number was 239-603-7238 If they're selling something I'm sure they wouldn't mind me giving it out. Free Publicity for them!

Called 3 times so far, last call I hug up on them, they wanted to give me a reduction on my monthly magazine bills, wanted my credit card number. This was not my magazine company, so I didn't give them my credit card number and I hung up.

I have had 3 calls from them today & no one is there when I answer.  I actually tried calling them back & no one answers that number...irritating is all I can say.

They are selling magazine subscriptions.  If you are on the Do not call list report them to the FTC.

I reported them to the FTC.  They are trolling for magazine subscriptions which they are not allowed to do if you are on the do not call list.  The last time they called I told them I reported them.  The caller then starts yelling to her manager "they reported us, they reported us!"  then he hung up.  They havent called since.

Get dead zone. When I tried to call back there is no answer. These calls come through 4-5 times a day.

I wonder...any tie in?

Got this call multiple times today as well.  They said I had ordered a set of either men's or women's magazines 5 years ago, they had paid the bill to renew these magazines, and wanted to verify my info to ensure 'all the magazines were in good condition'.  I spoke with a supervisor, and asked for specifics, didn't get many.  I have not paid for a magazine in many years, I get them free from airline promotions using frequent flyer miles.  Something is fishy here...they had my correct address, and I asked them to send me a copy of any contract I had made and instructions on how to cancel.

same.  says their company name is "reader Services"

They've called 4 times today and have called here and there in the past. The three times I picked up there was nothing there. The fourth time I get someone and they're saying its a courtesy call asking if I'm enjoying my magazines. They are all magazines I have not ordered nor am receiving. The gal said she'd "look into it". They better not call again. And I am on the no call list for my state.

They call about 5 times a day and I am sick of it.  When you call them back they won't answer.  They keep hanging up and it is getting old.  How can we stop this from happening

Dillon, Montana, sorry for the typo.

I called my local phone company and they said it was listed as being from Dllon, Mntana. I hope somebody takes them down. I would but I don't have the money to.

Numerous calls, I answer and silence. I, too, am sick of this. I am registered on our state DO NOT CALL list and I am reporting this today!

I searched a dozen sites trying to find out who was calling, and this site was the only one that actually gave me an answer.

I urge everyone to get on the National Do Not Call list. If your state has one, join that one as well.

They have called a total of 6 times today (Sunday) and don't even say anything. this had better stop very soon or i will be taking legal action

I have re4ceived many calls from this number 1-406-960-4703...They do not say anything..it is getting very anoying...

I've received six calls from this number in the past three days. Have not answered yet, but am tired of the calls.

Caller was requesting to send me out a new packet of magazine listings and attempting to reduce my rate I was paying for magazines.  I said I had already paid the bill several years ago and was not wanting any more magazines and they said I still have to pay for the second half of my contract for these magazines.  I said I wasn't going to pay for any more magazines and didn't want them and they were very insisting that I still had to pay for half of the contract and I hung up.
