Gulf Coast Readers reviews and complaints

Gulf Coast Reader's is a scam! They called me and were telling me that I still owed for 20 months of subscriptions and on and on and they are extremely sneaky with the way they get information out of you and ask if you have gotten any damaged magazines or if they are arriving late, as the conversation continued she told me that she will give it to me for 49.95 a month instead of the previously agreed upon $79.95, to which I never agreed! Well after she was through lying to me she said her supervisor has to verify everything, please hold on, and she hung up on me! A few minutes later the supervisor calls me back and was on the fast track to getting me all signed up for something I don't want and I asked what I am agreeing to and that I have been trying forever to get my subscriptions cancelled, which happen to be with another company who operates in the same manner and they have gotten too much of my money and continue to do so. She told me oh no honey you don't have a subscription with us and I told her I absolutely do not want this subscription and she does not have my permission to take any money from my account. She had gone around in a backhanded way saying they have a card on file and I need to verify that information before I realized that this is a different company. They took $39.95 out of my account! She said they will refund it and will never charge me again. I absolutely do NOT trust them!

Please dont lie..all calls are monitored had someone actually done that, you would have received a phone call from a manager with an apology and if someone really did place the order using your husbands info, the call was recorded you could have proved that by having your husband on the phone with customer service to listen to tape, if it wasn't him they would have cancelled it!

And 3 different people clearly told you by buying the magazines does not guarantee the gift! All the scripts the people read clearly do not state you will for sure get you gift, had you been paying attention you would have heard that!

If you call them they send you a list of over 300 magazines and you can change them for free!

Maybe you should try calling the company to see if they will work with you.

If anyone has dealt with them I recommend putting a hold on whatever credit card you used. They have very young shady people working there who have access to your personal info and for some people that includes your social. They do not screen employees and are constantly hiring and firing. The only reason this business stays open is because even though they lie to you about everything when they record you agreeing to everything they talk fast and tell you about the total cost and that if you don't get your gift card you must call the website you signed up with. Please everyone pay attention to what you are doing and stop falling for this gimmick.

Gulf coast is a scam I used to work there. All you have to do is threaten to call the FTC, or a lawyer and they will put you on the dnc list and cancel your order. It's owned by tony and Rhonda Moulder who are crack heads. They also call people restricted and say they will discount your magazines if you verify your credit card number. Upon doing so they sign you up for another service at a cheaper price so you wil now get twice the mags and billed twice a month. Beware of this place.

Your attitude towards the consumer is awful. The law states that if you have a contract for more than a year or for more than $500. You must mail the contact to the consumer. If anyone is have trouble with Gulf Coast Readers you can call Florida secretary of State or the Federal Trade commission @ [protected]

You are an ###! You probably work for this ### company!

So, tell me something, since you worked there, is this company actually able to send an account to collections and do they really do so? My husband actually fell for this scam over a year ago. We are getting a bunch of Spanish magazines, we do not speak Spanish so why would we ever order them. Just got a call today for my husband who was not hear and it was GCR offering a 48 hour settlement. I have just refused to pay. We never got the gift offered and magazines we just throw away.

Dear friend, please email me on more info janczewskibrando@yahoo.com

every one needs to cancel their card

U must have worked there when r AC broke which the owner paid 10 grand twice to fix so for the record everyone its freezen and yes we r legal we tell u we ant affiliated with websites n u can get the gift u just have to sign with so many sponsers which it website tells u so dnt believe everything u hear n only half of what u c especially from an x employee woes mad they got fired cuz they couldn't hack it

weird.

i'D LOVE FOR YOU TO EMAIL ME YOUR PHONE NUMBER. i KNOW A LOT ABOUT THIS. PLEASE CONTACT ME. CONCERNED.

I would love to talk to you. I know a lot about this company and the way they work. Please send me your #.

I have been scammed by these people too. I was trying to get a free laptop from FreeUSLaptop.com, and after about filling out 2 offers, 1 for netflix, 1 for a credit score, it presented me with a page saying "just 18 moree offers to your free laptop!". I cancelled the 2 offers I signed up for and figured id forget about it. The next day, Eric from Gulf Coast Readers calls me and says that this magazine sponsorship thing is all I need to get my laptop. I told him that i cancelled that and that i thought the whole laptop thing was a rip-off, but he assured me that this was the last step, and that if I got this far, Id get my laptop. I know I was stupid to go along with it, but they do put a lot of pressure on you. So after listening to a woman rattle off a script at breakneck speed, I agreed. A week later, 2 charges were made from my bank account, one from GCR, another from Your Best Option. I expected the GCR charge, but had no idea what the Your Best Option charge was, after looking over several complaints here, I know now that it was also GCR, just a different name. Anyway, not being able to find out what it was, I reported it to my bank as an unauthorized charge. Having closed that account, the next month, Eric from GCR calls me and says I missed a payment. I tell him I don't want these magazines, the few I had received weren't even the ones I had ordered, and I didnt get the laptop either. He told me that their company has nothing to do with the laptop website, and that I mustve done something else wrong to not get the laptop. He also said I cant cancel now, and that I had to pay them $49.95 a month for the next 5yrs. I told him I thought that was crap, but he said he had me recorded on tape agreeing to these terms, thus constituting a legal agreement, and that I had to pay this or they were going to sue me. I got angry with him, and eventually he said they could offer me a settlement deal that would be $130 a month for 6 months. He reminded me that if I refuse, they can and most likely will sue me, and this will look bad on my credit report. Not wanting that outcome, I agreed. Im worried that I'm stuck with these payments until christmas. Now he says he has me on tape agreeing to the settlement, is there anyway I can get out of this? These people are predatory, evil ###, and they cant be allowed to grift people out of money like this!

You must agree to be recorded for actual payments to even be taken off your card, and you also have to be recorded stating that you agree for the payments to come off. It absolutely amazes me that all the sales reps, supervisors, and verifiers these people go through with nothing but explaining PAYMENTS these idiots think they dont have to pay for anything...

No one takes money from u from Gulf coast without ur permission on recording so if all u complaners would remember n pay attention to stuff u get into u wouldn't have this problem

Contact 1800helpflorida.com, file a complaint. When GCR's contact you and try to griff more money to cancel your account refuse. Within a couple of weeks they should close your account with no extra charges.

GULF COAST READERS IN CAPE CORAL FLORIDA TAKE NOTICE... YOU AIN'T GETT'IN PAID FOR ANY MAGAZINES SHIPPED TO ME. I DID NOT ORDER THEM...THEY ARE NOT THE TOPICS I AM EVEN REMOTELY INTERESTED IN...I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR TELEPHONE CALLS...FURTHERMORE, ANY LETTERS OR BOGUS INVOICES, STATEMENTS, ETC. WILL BE USED IN MY PRIVATE RESTROOM TO WIPE MY LOWER POSTERIOR AND FLUSHED !

I actually work for Gulf Coast Readers and i am completely ashamed that i have to work there but i need work and this job is the only thing available. I started working there about 3 weeks ago and i have never in my life been treated so poorly or told to do so many shady things EVER! I work in the cape coral office and let me tell you First off you walk into the place and it smells like B.O! You know why? Because they leave the AC on 85 all day long! You think hey that's not bad but when you have smokers running in and out of the building leaving doors open the the 95+ degree heat outside it gets HOT QUICK! I hate to say it but we are almost literally driven like slaves! If you don't follow the script word for word you will be reprimanded and possibly written up. Now the "script" has been worded so perfectly by design that it really does trick people into thinking they are getting IPADS, FREE COMPUTERS, $500 TARGET OR WALMART GIFT CARDS, VICTORIA SECRET OR SUBWAY GIFT CARDS FOR FREE! Well guess what GCR has NOTHING to do with handing out those prizes that's the initial foot in the door scam. They buy leads from pop up sites like best shopper rewards .com and FREEIPAD .com etc etc the list is quite large! They piggy back their sales into one of the requirements to get the free gift. So when the customer asks "when am i getting my IPAD"? You say i'm sorry you have to goto freeipad.com and get that info from them. Then we just keep feeding them BS with our script. We call some people 10-15 times IN A DAY! I have never been yelled at or called so many names in my life! And i understand completely! The worst part about the job is the pay scale you get paid minimum wage 7.25 an hour with a "attendance bonus" of $1 more per hour if you are ontime every day. Well guess what its a mandatory 6 day work week AND if you log in or are late by even ONE MINUTE yup ONE MINUTE you get a point! You get 2 points and guess what you just lost your attendance bonus welcome to minimum wage! Now when i say times are tough i mean it i have been working since i was 15 i am 40+ now with a bachelors degree in computer science! And i work here at this HELL HOLE i hate deceiving people everyday i truly do but if i don't do my job i lose my job and then its back to welfare! STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE THEY ARE ### WORST OF ALL THEY ARE JUST LEGAL ENOUGH TO STAY IN BUSINESS!

You're the dumbest person in the world. These people are victims of telemarketing. They provide the company with all the proper billing information over the phone and agree to the debits from their accounts. If they did not agree to the charges the "verbal agreement" would not be in place. Get a clue [censored]

what you dont understand, "BASEBALL", is that companies like Gulf Coast Readers obtain numerous personal informations off of unauthorized sources. They are in violation of human rights to privacy, and once they obtain that information they refuse to get rid of it. they charge you a substantial amount of money, doesnt matter if the consumer wants it or not.

as for you judi, if they have charged your account it is very easy to get that money back.
what you have to do is talk to your bank, explain the situation that you are in, and they will most likely file a complaint against that company. Also with that, if the bank sees that the company has charged your account without proper authorization, they will get your money back. Simple.

ITS THE 21ST CENTURY AND THE REASON WHY ARE COUNTRY IS IN THE CONDITION ITS IN IS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE MISUNDERSTANDING CONTRACTS AND OR POLICIES. UNDERSTAND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CONTRACT BEFORE YOU REQUEST ANY SERVICE PLAIN AND SIMPLE. ALSO UNDERSTAND ANY POLICY THAT A COMPANY HAS IN PLACE AS FAR AS CANCELLATION. AS FOR YOUR CASE JUDI I'M PRETTY SURE THIS COMPANY GULF COAST READERS WILL REFUND YOUR MONEY BECAUSE NO SERVICES HAVE BEEN RENDERED. ADDITIONALLY THE OVERDRAFT CHARGES : THE BANK WILL CLAIM THEY ARE NOT AT FAULT BECAUSE YOU LEGITIMATELY PLACED AN ORDER AND THEREFORE THEY ARE NOT THE REASON FOR YOUR OVERDRAFT CHARGES. HAVE A BETTER GRASP ON YOUR FINANCES AND STOP GIVING OUT YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION OVER THE PHONE. I HAVE ZERO SYMPATHY FOR YOU AND AS FAR AS LAWS AGAINST THE NORMAL BUSINESS PRACTICES OF AMERICA I THINK YOU'RE SOL

i was talked into recieving magazines from the company gulf Coast readers.. all communication was verbal and done over the telephone
i hav called numerous times to cancel my subscriptions for the magazines and was told it was to late to cancel as i didnt follow up per their procedures.
I have told them i have a limited income and could not afford these magazines. The total payments of all these magazines comes out to over $900.00. Which is outragious and I told them.
How do i get out of this contract and how do I cancel, I was told i could make higher payments to off set the total amount due which would lower it. I told them I still cannot do these amounts.
Any and all information would be extremely helpfull. As I really need to get out of this contract.
Is this binding and legitimate?
I also recieving magazines which I never ordered and get bills for these also, which I ignore.
thank you

MY E-mail address is skye52@ymail.com thank you Judi

Sounds like you placed any order over a telephone. Contracts that are binding which in this case you have a binding agreement are as follows : If the company said they would deliver some of value (I'm assuming they did) and the client (you) agreed to compensate you for that in some way, you have an agreement, whether this took place over the phone, in person, or via an email exchange. For an agreement to be binding, the company and the client simply need to agree on two things : The services you will perform, and what you will receive in exchange. In addition some states requires signatures. You are not in a signature state therefore are required to pay the contract agreed upon. I am assuming the company will accommodate your financial situation as most companies are now showing a trend in more flexible payment plans.

I was called by Gulf Coast Readers back in March, I have been paying $65.80 a month, they will no let me cancel even though I have not received any magazines. I am supposed to pay for 15 months and get magazines for 5 years. I was told to keep a look out for the Fedex truck, I still haven't seen it. They say i agreed (which I probably did) to do this. It is a binding contract to the magazine companies, so I can't cancel because it's not a magazine company. If anyone can help me please do.

I wanted to cancel after I read some of the complaints I saw on the internet. I tried calling but I get the same thing, I get a tone, then hangup. I went on their web page and mailed a request for the cancelation. They had proof of my validation of caneling. I found out just now that this wasn't canceled on my bank statement. I just got a way from another wacky company on the phone, and now this!

i was told that i would received an gift card from walmart i never receive it so i wanted to cancel but they called me back wanted to sell me some more magazines

Whoever works for this company need to stop lying to people and telling them that they are getting a gift card when they really don't. I did understand the terms, they just out and out lied. They should not scam people that are sick and have limited income either. They recorded all the calls but the one that scammed me now come on what is that all about?

They did the same exact thing to me and I had called within the seven day period, and they say I didn't. I do not know what to do they are the largest scam artists I have ever seen.

ITS THE 21ST CENTURY AND OUR ECONOMY IS DOWN THE DRAIN BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU. UNDERSTAND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CONTRACT BEFORE YOU SIGN UP FOR IT, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. ALSO UNDERSTAND ANY POLICY THAT A COMPANY HAS IN PLACE AS FAR AS CANCELLATION. MOST COMPANIES FINANCE THESE TYPES OF SERVICES FOR YOU, THEREFORE YOU NOT PAYING THEM BACK WILL HAVE A TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT ON THE REST OF THE ECONOMY. THANKS

I had similar problems with them and tried calling to cancel but they told me I would have to pay for full term of agreement. I wrote up a complaint with the Better Business Bureau through BBB website. It was super easy, no charge and very effective. Within two days of putting statement through to BBB, Gulf Readers called and told me they would cancel my contract and no additional fees.

How did you fix this?

well actually i did a survey with them a while back. They called me and said they send me 500 dollar gift card in mail by fedex and some magazines... the thing is i do not have a bank account credit or debit card. so i never had to fill any of that out. so what does that mean will happen to me.

Thats just crap all the way we fly record u for no reason duh and we mail out the contract right after that I would no I did the mailing! Gosh at least state facts if ur going to complain

Everything is recorded and you must agree to be recorded, if you dont agree your call is ended then & there. U are never ever PROMISED any sort of gift, employees will be immediately terminated at the mention of "promising a gift" Pay attention to the payments better and the question " WILL YOU AGREE TO BE RECORDED "

I was Called on cell phone and was told these magazines would not only cost two payments of $.20.00. Now I get a calllast evening Telling me I have a credit of $199.00.How would I like to pay this in the full amt. or 6 payments?I told him this was not the agreement on the phone and to just cancel magazines .I hope they do not try to collect this money, as i have already spoken to credit card company. Carol Siddon

I receive a 59.80 statement on my credit card statement this month.I already cancel my order last month.Why is that amount on my credit card statement.You conferm that I cancel my order.I shouldn't have to pay that amount.Make it right or you will get a phone call from me and it won't be nice.

You people are wasting your time lawyers can't do anything it's a law bidding agreement through digital recordings just like placing a order from the tv everything is done by phone. My lawyers looked into it and if I don't pay this bill it will go to collections and they will proceed against me for none payment of my financial agreement with them. Thanks a lot you ###s for blogging all this crap about reporting them cause it's no use I placed the order for a online gift and i did my research on the recording of my tapes the lady clearly told me that they aren't responsible for the gift, the website is plus if you need glasses the website says it also under term and conditions now I just wasted money on lawyers to look into this thanks to you jerks. So word of advice man up and pay your damn bills you placed the order now take responsibility for your actions yea their customer service might suck but if you don't want a collection agency hunting you down then pay your damn bills on time ###s.

I got scam in from golf coast readers too force me to go e them by debit information saying that I had to pay when I didn't even sign up for them and got treat into signing up. Then they tell me I day within 14 days to cancel my perscription when I spoke to the lady on the phone. I heard the voice recording and they never mention that over the conversation I had with her. I also stated that I wasn't interested in renewal of the magazines. When I notice they were taking two different payments for my account. I call them again two months ago regarding this issue the guy said that the two payments were for the original order and the second payment for the renewal. I had made it clear too them I never wanted the renewal. So they offered me a discount and make it too 1 whole payment etc. After I told the guy I want to cancel my prescription that the only option they give me. Yesterday I spoke with the supervisor who was very rude and had a attitude towards me in not even helping me out. We should have a right to cancel any prescription of magazines when we want too. I don't know what else too do. Write a letter to the company and have them cancel my account completely and take my cell number of out there system.

DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER! that 20 mins on the phone cost me 850$! they steal people's money, this company needs to be closed! they scam people every one that works in this company is going to hell because they're stealing, lying and putting people in dept, we work hard for our money! and they take our money! they first took abt 54$ from my bank account next month they called me saying the couldnt take money i said yeah im not giving you guys 1 more pennie they were like okay were going to take this to the collection. and here we are i just recieved a call from the colletion agency saying they want 850$ from me.

please... $49.90 was deducted from my account and i am now overdrawn with a $35 fee... please fix this... i do not want magazines... i am on disability and a fixed low income

IT IS NOW THE 21ST CENTURY UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CONTRACT AND YOU WONT BE SCAMMED

These people are rude they call me every day asking for payment they call my house, they call my cell when I was at work too. I even got a call one day I told the lady that it was not a good time my grandmother just died this morning and cant talk right now plz stop calling me this lady kept on asking for payments I hung up on her she called back and told me that if I don't pay they will start legal action's I cant believe that they can do this to people and get away with it. I have lost my job been on public assistance they still kept calling asking for there $59 payment. I found another job don't pay that much but it will to do what can I do to stop these people plz help me

i just got scammed about a couple of weeks ago. I called the and asked them if i could cancell, they said no i had 7 days. I told them i didnt have the money. They said i still could not cancel. Today i talked to a Joseph Wilson he was director of operations. I asked him to provide the recording of myself and he agreed. I got to hear it all and it was correct. I was very persistant and called about 5 times they transferred me over to 3 different people. Now I found out in the state of South Carolina over the the phone recordings are not a signature. They literally need your hand written signature to go on with this. Make sure you check with your state about that. Anywho, I told Joseph that they really could' not do anything without a signature. He went on this lecture about how they credited 800 dollars to me for my magazines. Really...really... So after questioning him about how all of this was right he told me he would just take me off the list and I was putting about 3 or 4 people out of a job. I really have no sympathy. I fell silly that i fell for this and will never do it again. Please guys do not let them do this to you! THEY CAN CANCELL YOUR CONTRACT. NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY THERE IS A WAY. just do some research guys. I hope i helped.

I was called today by them concerning my husband. Someone got my husband's information and ordered a bunch of magazines. Well when I tried to explain it was fraudulent activity and that we canceled the card the man proceeded to get very rude then as he was slamming down the phone he called me a b****. A terrible company with even WORSE customer service.

I too an being scammed by these idiots! Every time they call I request for them not to call me again and to take my name off the list and to cancel my service. Today I actually hung up on one of them because he told me that he didn't have to listen to me because he's the one that could cancel my account. I told him that if they took one dime from me, that I would sue them and hung up on him! These people are @$$holes and I'm so fed up!

I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED TOO! THEY REFUSE TO LET ME CANCEL, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING! THE MAGAZINES THEY ARE SENDING ARE FROM LAST MONTH, THEY AREN'T EVEN THE MOST CURRENT ISSUES! HELP!

I have the same problem with them now it started with a free IPAD for signing up and I called to cancel after I did not receive the Package that they claimed they sent out and I never received. So after the charge of 65.80 I disputed it on my credit card and they sent a letter to the credit card company and had it overturned. The supervisor I talked with told me you cannot cancel. So what do you do?

WHEN GULF COAST READERS CALLED ME, THEY TOLD ME I WOULD BE GETTING LIKE 5 MAGAZINES AND EXTRA...WELL I THINK THEY ARE A SCAM BECAUSE I'M ONLY GETTING 3 MAGAZINES...WHEN I CALLED THEM REGARDING THIS AND HOW I WANTED TO CANCEL...THEY SAID NO...THEY KEEP CALLING ME AS AN UNAVAILABLE NUMBER AND HOW I CAN CALL BETWEEN 8AM-2PM...WHEN I CALL A MESSAGE COMES ON LIKE A VOICEMAIL...NO ONE ANSWERS...YOU SEE THE ACCOUNT THEY HAD WITH ME I HAD CLOSED THAT BANK ACCOUNT...THEY KEEP CALLING ME WITH A FORM OF PAYMENT...WELL THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN...I WISH THAT SOMEONE CAN HELP ME GET OUT OF THIS SITUATION...

Edward Epps is his name. Getting your credit card and running up big charges for magazines you don't want is his game. I also stumbled across a possible matching facebook page...awful tatoos.

First, I agree to agree with all of the consumers who's already written/e-mailed in to this site. I too got a call from Gulf Coast Readers telling me that I won a $1000.00 Walmart card and all I had to do was pay a one time fee of $45-$50.00's, for what I was told would about a ton of magazines I'd never had to ever pay for again. I did agree at first but then I contacted the N.C. Attorney General's Office online and the page I was on had something that all good and honest consumers who goes online trying to win something went as follows in my own words, "If or in case you/I were to actually win that hard to get $1000.00 walmart card, no one from Walmart or anyone else will/should/would ever call you for any reason outside of winning that or any other card for that matter." My husband has the bank account in his name and not mine even though our last names are the same and I do all the bill paying and grocery buying, yet the charges aren't supposed to be there until Oct.29th, 2011, which isn't until next week.. The charges aren't supposed to be on the card at that time but I called to cancel and they agreed but now after reading some of these other GCR horror stories after they were charged made me think twice so I called them back before ours is to take place yet I'm still weary that the charges will still come out even after cancelling. Can they still do this even after cancelling before the charges have been taken out? I'd appreciate any help in this area of intrest! Thanks in advance for any and all consideration in and on this matter! Dearestly, Jackie Miller, Charlotte, N.C.. My phone number is as foillows: [protected]. Please feel free to call me on this if possible and once again. My e-mail is: jqackie2755@yahoo.com . I Thank you and anyone else in advance for any information I may or will recieve about this phone scam.. "GOD" Bless you all and I Pray each one and all of us gets some much needed results. Jackie Miller...

Gulf Coast Readers is a scam! the address I got is; 1625 Cape Coral Pkwy E., Cape Coral, Fl. [protected]
This is a discusting scam! I have received the Customer Right to Cancel form today and filled it out & mailed it back. I have read many complaints on your company as well. There is no $500.00 Walmart card that my "Sponcer Ashley" said was the reason for the call in the first place from doing a survey online. That's how they got my information & They are taking advantage of people in their time of need or just trying to earn some extra income from home. I am very discusted.
I'm changing my phone number as well. My bank has also been notified & they've already heard of them...Go figure!
Thank you & hope to never hear from them again.

i called in today and got really angry and sturn with the matter of me wanting my subscription cancelled. i have called three times previously and got the same response of how they couldn't cancelle because of the 7 day time frame. so i called today and stressed the matter of what i was told when i got the offer was completely different than the information from the letter i sent i the mail and if it was my misunderstanding or not i was not happy with this subscription and i wanted it cancelled immediately. of course she faught me on it and wanted to review my tape from my inital call, i told her she could if she wanted but i knew with the scam they were pulling they would find it in their favor anyways. she put me on hold and then came back to tell me that she did cancelle my next 14 months of subscriptions but the one month they already took out could not be processed back to me. i told her i was fine with that but i wanted to make sure i understood it completely that my subscription was completely cancelled and i would not be charged to my account anymore for sure. she said yes and that a verifier would be in contact with me within the next two days. i called my bank right after that call and explained the matters to them, they said they were doing debit purchases for the subscription and that they would cancelle my card and send me a new one but i was to recieve anymore transactions on my account from this company i could disput and recieve the money back. hope this helps guys!

In a matter of 20 minutes, a charge was debt from my account without my authorization! I had to call my credit card company to cancel my card and dispute the charges. Why are people so deceitful today? Sounded like a good deal but I guess if it sounds to good it must be a scam.

I was contacted by them a few days ago and they have tried to get money from me. Does anyone have the 800 number? I would like to try to call them. I think I will put a block on them ASAP. Thanks for the heads up.
