Julie Barrett is a freelance writer and photographer based in Plano, TX.
Fresh when it gets here from Julie Barrett Thursday, June 21, 2007
THEM: Hello. This is Publisher's Business Services. To whom an I speaking?
(Yikes.)
ME: Who is Publisher's Business Services?
(I'm wondering at this point if I'm about to be pitched a scam aimed at writers.)
THEM: Why...we're Publisher's Business Services.
(And I must be dumb as a brick. Why didn't I understand that they're... Publisher's Business Services? I'm still waiting for the pitch, by the way.)
ME: And WHO is Publisher's Business Services?
THEM: We sell magazine subscriptions.
ME: I'm on the FTC Do Not Call list. Please take this number off of your list.
After I disconnected I discovered the caller ID said UNKNOWN NUMBER. A quick Google search shows a few complaints against this company. Why am I not surprised? I reported the call to the FTC.
Back to work.
