Plus 3 magazine subscriptions for the low price of $1.99 each a month! How nice this "gentleman" was, claiming Publishers Sweepstakes has been in business for over 50 yrs, the Federal Goverment requires certain information, such as my credit card number. blah blah blah. 50 years of ripping people off--right? When I told him I don't see the need for giving him my credit card number, he hung up. I tried calling the number back, it just rang and rang then a solid beep.

Right.... I have no bank account or credit cards.<br /><br />When I asked a few penetrating questions and caught her in several contradictory story shiifts, she hung up. I was born at night.

They also told me I got a$100 voucher to use at Walmart, target, etc and 4 free magazine subscriptions. But then also that I get 3 magazines for like 3 something a week and proceeded to try to get my credit card info from me. HELLO I'm not that stupid. These people are ridiculous! Not to mention they called me like 20x's in the past 3 days.
