Called with a sweepstakes winner announcement. Offered a package of 7 magazines over 60 months for $16 a month. Would not send information first / bill through mail, only would take credit card details over the phone.

ANYONE, ANY CALLER OR COMPANY, THAT CALLS YOU AND WHEN YOU PICK UP AND YOU SAY HELLO SAYS YOUR NAME (and you dont know the number) IS A SCAM!!!ANYONE, ANY CALLER, OR COMPANY THAT ASKS ANY INFORMATION SUCH AS BANK ACCT, SOCIAL SEC. OR ASK TO VERIFY YOUR ADDRESS AND YOU DID NOT CONTACT THEM FIRST, IS A SCAM (not saying that all companies are, but usually soliciting phone calls where they say your name, make you an offer, when you say no, they reduce the offer, are just not legite) Tell them, if they would like that information, you woould like them to send something to you first, perhaps via e-mail or mail, (tell them not to contact you by phone anymore) that way you can get the address for their main headquarters. If they call again, after you asked them not too, you may file claims for such actona, just keep a record of all contacts!Sorry I have written soo much, just trying to help anyone out, maybe me typing all this can help anyone, even if it is just 1 person...They have called me, I had told them they had the wrong number, I looked up the number up on the internet and luckily found out that it was indeed a scam. This way that when they call again, I can figure out where they are located, find out more info and report them to a higher authority so good people that may not be able to look into the offers, or have the internet, will not fall victim to this awful harrassment telemarketing phone scam.**Also, since I know it is a scam, and have been gathering more info on them (Im in law for a living in case you are wondering), I decided to ring them back - I constantly got the busy signal...but tonight a woman answered and she didnt say hello, she sai "MOUNT AIRY COMMUNICATIONS, DID YOU RECEIVE A PHONE CALL" and I hung up...IRONIC, b/c when they tried to pretend to know my name and who I was, they said they were calling on bhalf of a Publishing Company, not a Communications company...BEWARE good people, do not be taken advantage of, do something about them and report it. Write down the number, the name they give you, tell them they have reached the wrong number but ask them what company they are calling from and their name, maybe if you can even ask where their headquarters is too, ya never know what they are willing to say (or make up). ALWAYS KEEP A RECORD OF CORRESPONDANCE, and then report all that you can, even if just on a website like this, it will help rid of these pitiful relentless companies such as this one and help others avoid such problems.

ask for my husband but he wasn't avail so they hung up

the company is Mountain Area Communications, 186 Campbell Dr., Sneedville, TN, 37869, 1-866-900-2719

Caller ID 4237339664/2474Asking for D.O.B Info. They are identity thieves.

They called me on my cell this morning and said i had won a $500 dollar gift certificate. They asked me how old I was but not for my birth date, and where i was working and if my monthly income was over 1000 dollars a month. I told them because I had just entered some sweepstake stuff and they said that i would recieve the gift certificate in the mail. Could they steal my identity? I dont make over $1000 dollars a month so do you think they wont bother with me if they had enouch information?

I am letting everyone know that i received calls just today (May 27, 2008) from the same number claiming that i won $500 Worth of Gift Certificates which i can claim on-line and also offered me with free magazines. After the initial call, they called back again asking for the Expiry Date of my CREDIT Card number which of course i didn't give...WHy would I? If indeed i won, all they have to do is mail the said certificate afterall, they know my address and even my full name. Isn't it scary how people these days can trace your whereabouts and call you? Guys, Be Careful with this number...

mountain area communications sells magazines, they are magazine telemarketers, that is just the way it is, if we were charging people and not sending the magazines do you not think the company would be closed by now? Go ahead and research us, because the service they provide isn't in any way illegal, just because it seems fishy or inconvenient to you.

no, they wont steal your identity, they said they would send it to be nice, checking accounts and that income are required qualifications. So you weren't even eligible.

You are a nothing but a scam arrtist who likes to rip people off. You tried today but you will get whats coming to you... NO ONE WAS supposed to charge my card for another 2 weeks and guess what you did right away so guess what your going down you lossers. I DID NOT AUTHORIZE YOU TOO. Im making this my mission untill justice is served.... You want to go getto lets take it there.
