I didn't pick up. And they didn't leave a message.

They called saying that they were with Heartland Inc.  They said that my late father had an account with them and in order to close the account they needed a copy of the death certificate.  When I asked what magazines, they asked me "Do I really want to know"  then danced around the question, never giving me an exact name.  I'm not sure if they were legitamate or if they were just trying to get my father's social security number.  I'm going to hold off and wait for a request in writing and let the lawyer deal with them.

They called saying that this is a courtesy call.  They asked some questions about my magazine subscriptions and some personal questions like age, sex, and married. Then I was asked if I could talk to her supervisor and let him know how nice she was because she was new. This is when they told me I had agreed(with my original subscription over 3 years ago and it has been paid in full for at least a year)to pay so much a month to get another 5 years of 4 magazines. I told him that I had not agreed to another 5 years. I also asked how come the subscriptions are not billed together or one right after the other, instead of a year later. He said that was so the customer has a break instead of getting a bill 40 times in a row. After arguing with him for a few minutes, I told him to send me the info in the mail and hung up. He tried calling me back. I am going to talk to my bank to warn them about any charges this company might try to make on my account.

This has also happened to me. They are trying to bill me about $500 for magazines I bought and paid for years ago. Someone should investigate this..........

Young lady from this company, Heartland called last night. She said she was calling to confirm some magazine order I (supposedly) made - asking me questions like my age and whether I was a female. I asked her what mag. subscription? She said she was new and she'd put her super on the line. Well, when he got on the line, seemed like all he wanted was my credit card number, especially my debit card. I told him if I had made a subscription he should already have it. He replied he was on a 'secure screen' and the number won't show til he types it in. I didn't know who or what I was dealing with so I told him to send me information and I'd look it over. He went from being real nice to real mean saying he going to turn me into collections. I told him do what you want, but you ain't getting my numbers! Yeah, I better call the bank to alert them....just in case - cuz he sure knew alot about me and when my debit card expires! Apparently he didn't have my number (hopefully)and that's what he mainly wanted. Scary!

I received a call from 515-251-5316 a few minutes ago. I didn't recognize it but i have been getting in touch with lost family members so i answered. I spoke to a "rob" who was new to the job and I heard people in the back ground laughing like somebody was having a party. they told me that i was signe dup for an additional 9.99 a month 60 month subscription for some magazines. I did have a subscription through a legitimate company but my trial has expired and and i made sure to have my bank not accept anymore transactions from them. so when these guys call me. a Red Flag went up and i was passed to the "supervisor" who asked me how Rob was and if he was polite. i went along and said "sure he's aight" when then the supervisor switched his accent to a heavy southern accent. I told him that my subscription had ended and that i was not obligated to any more magazines, to which he replied that i was obligated and I had agreed to it via voice recording and that there's no way to fake your voice. I work in the Military and my previous job entailed with such type of scams. voices are very easy to fake once a sample has been taken. I got into a dispute with this supervisor and he kept harassing me and telling me that my card with the some random last four digits was being charged the amount. I knew something was up because none of my cards had such digits but they told me they were taking legal action against me to which i told him " you do that I will take legal action as well" What I want to know is how to go about reporting them when their number doesn't work if you try to call back or it tells you it's no longer in service.

Asking personal questions. Asking for a person who no longer has the phone number. Told them to stop harassing phone calls and that the police would be contact if they called again

I think these mofo's are in Urbandale Iowa and they're not called just Heartland Inc., but rather Heartland Communications Group, Inc. and their website is www.hlipublishing.com.  Don't go off cussing them before you verify that 100%.

This company also called me and purported to be a company called Magizines, Inc.(whom I had received subscriptions from) altho they never said they were from Magazines Inc. they had information that should have only been known by Mag. Inc. they asked if I were satisfied with the magazines I was receiving and told me that if not, I could change to different magazines(this is the same thing that Magazines, Inc. had told me.  I took it as a courtesy call and didn't think anymore about it until I started receiving charges on my credit card(it was the same card that I had used with Magazines, Inc. how did they get the number, I am sure I didn't give it out).  When I tried to call and cancel it, I received no answer.  I am disputing the charges thru the credit card company and will close the card out completely if I have to.

They just called me-using a name i do not go by anymore-i have been divorced for 7 years and they used my married name-i have been going by my maiden name for 7 years now. they referenced my discover card-a card i cancelled one and half years ago. then they wanted the last 4 digits of my bank account! i did not give it to them> i asked them what magazine they represent--they said up to 700!!!I kept asking what the point of the call was and they kept wanting personal information! they hung up on me finally--guesse i was not helping out the way they wanted me to. watch out for these scammers!!

I kept getting phone calls and never answered because I didn't recognize the # on caller ID. I finally answered lastnight and the guy said he was just updating files and making sure I was happy with the magazines I am getting. I said yes because I receive several and he made it sound like he was calling from the company I had purchased them from. He updated my address and asked for my credit card info. I asked why he would need it because my account is paid in full. He said he was new and needed to put his supervisor on the phone. His supervisor asked the same thing and I questioned it again. He ever read me the first few digits of my card #. I totally thought they were calling from the other company. Before getting off the phone I asked (at least 5 times) that my account was paid in full and that I wasn't being charged for anything. He assured me that all they were doing was updating my address. I told him that I better not find my card # being used because I wasn't athorizing anything. He assured me again that nothing was going to be charged. I looked at my checking account online today and found that they had charged me $99.80! I have no idea what for and when I called the number back I just getting an answering service. I am disputing the charges through my bank and closed the account. Please beware

billed me without my permission

I keep receiving calls from these "people". They hang up when my botfriend answers. Which makes a jealous man wonder. A-holes. I am going to turn them into the BBB tomorrow.

I missed a call from these guys and they left on my answer machine "You suck dick, don't come here again" I'm going to try calling these guys back or hopefully they call when I'm home so I can speak to a manager cause i have no clue what they are selling and what company they truely are and those kind of messages are just un called for

Called tonight, thanking me for my subscription.  "Mike" was new, and asked me my age, my occupation, and how long I'd been working in my field.  He said I wasn't renewing anything and that I was already signed up, and they were just updating their records.  He transferred me to his supervisor, "Rob," who asked me to confirm the expiration date of my Visa starting with "4."  I said, "What Visa?  I have several."  He said, "The one starting with '4.'"  I said, "I think they all start with a 4."  He told me to give him an expiration date, and he'd see what his system returned.  I told him I was on my way to work and didn't have my CC on me, so I couldn't verify.  They're going to call back tomorrow, so I think I'll record it.

Heartland keeps showing up on my phone caller ID so I finally answered it tonight. He asked for my husband and I said he's not available but this is his wife. he said he would call back. So I asked what this was in regards to since they have called a total of 28 times in the past week. He said it was in regards to some magazines. I asked him to stop calling, to remove my number from their database, my husband does not have a magazine subscription, nor has he ever. All of our subscriptions are in my name or my kids. He said he owed them money and he would try back. I told him no - to remove us and he yelled something at me and hung up. I called the number back and it rang 27 times and then disconnected. BEWARE

I fell for their initial subscription ploy over a year ago and thought I was almost at an end this year. I received a call from them in March to 'update' their records. Next thing I'm seeing double charges on my account and a subscription notice in the mail. The notice was mailed back to cancel the same day and I called the number they gave me to cancel but nobody picked up. I canceled the card they were billing and immediately got a call from them the next morning stating that my account was past due. I declined to give them any other cards or update my address for their records. Since then they haven't stopped calling and I haven't stopped telling them that I do not need their services and will not be billed for magazine I haven't been getting (thats another issue). Since their initial call I have filed complaints with the State Attorney in FL, IA and the BBB in IA in regards to their unfair business practices. I suggest everyone with an issue with these guys do the same.

They tried to get my wife to give them my credit card numbers when I wasn't home. The girl that called told my wife that I had promised to give them the information today.

These guys are shady and need to answer for their business practices.

I HAVE BEEN GETTING CALLS FROM THIS COMPANY. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED A PAYMENT FROM ME SINCE MAY. AFTER THAT PHONE CALL I CHECKED MY BANK STATEMENT AND IT SHOWED TWO PAYMENTS THAT WAS SENT TO THEM IN JUN AND JULY. A SUPERVISOR STATED THAT THEY WILL CREDITED MY MONEY BACK TO ME AND IN TURN WITHDRAW TWO MORE PAYMENTS. I AM FED UP. I HAVE PLACED A STOP PAYMENT ON MY ACCOUNT I HOPE THIS WILL STOP THEM.
