This is a scam! Went through the entire speel with them :P The are "offering" numerous free magazine subscriptions based on a few questions about what you like to read. She said that the reason she is able to offer these free subscriptions is because it is being funded by some of the advertisers of said magazines. She stated that the magazine publishers make most of their money through ad space and could not care less whether we pay the retail price of the magazine, they just want us to read the ads. The person on the telephone acted in a very professional manner, asking me for my first name to address me by. She then inquired about my city and then on to the weather conditions, basically trying to create a personal connection so that I would trust her. She then asked me a few more questions and stated that I qualified for an extra $1000 dollars in name brand products. Wow all that? Well not quite free! She then informed me that there would be a $20 fee to process my information and told me to have my credit card ready as she transfered me to billing. I hung up the phone. They have been calling me now 6 times a day ever since (12 days ago)!
