i've recieved calls from this number and was told by an operator that she would keep calling my number until she felt like stopping!!! This was after informing her i put my number on their do not call list twice... And guess what... I'm still getting phone calls

They call two or three times sometimes in one day. I  pick up since I know I never gave them my number. The caller ID always says Viking Magazine.

i just got my phone number less than a week ago and I get a phone call and they even know my name.

Please do not call my number 610-669-4098. I did not give you the number at it is my work number. If you continue to call I will have to give this number to our Information and Secuirty people

i never answer

I just got a new phone number two days ago to stop harrassing calls for my ex-husband's creditors -- this # called me today and would not give me the reason why they were asking for a Mrs. Smith -- she doesn't live here any more, since I changed my name.  I put my name on their "no-call" list.  I'm tired of these stupid companies and computer-generated calls.

This number calls me 4 or 5 times a day. how do you make it stop? I've only had This number for 2 weeks. It started a couple of days ago. HELP!

They just called for my husband tonight. We *just* moved here and got this number. We haven't lived in the US in 4 years and already we're getting hit up for magazines. This is a bunch of crap. Trying to call back now to see if I get anywhere....the dork that called me stuttered the whole time because I either made him nervous or he sucked at his job.

Okay...it gave me the option of removing my number, so here's hoping this will actually work. . .

I'm starting to get calls from this number too. WTF is Viking Magazine?

Keep getting calls from this number about once a week, starting the same week that I had my phone service installed. I never answer. Caller Id says unknown.

The same week that I had my phone service installed I had my new phone number placed on the "no call list" operated by the FTC website. Maybe they are stealing these phone numbers from the FTC website?

Maybe if I emailed the MN state atty general's office, their two senators, and all of their congressmen, would this help?

i just resived a call from this phone number and they knew my name and everything and when i ask how is this they hung up and i see im not the only one with this problem i just got my new number 5 days a go this is freaky and i would like it to stop asap help me with this please

I don't want what they are offering!!!!!!!!!!!

i just got my first phone call from this number. where are they getting my number?  i haven't signed up for anything online or gave my number to anyone that isn't supposed to have it. i would like to know why they can't quit when you don't answer the first time.

i jus got a call from thsi number as well,i so i googled it and this website came out,but mine was alot stranger,they told me i got a little brother(which i dont) and that there watching me,and thne they jus hung up,it was a female voice..

well it started last week when some telemarketer called on my cell.  they had all my info,,even credit card info. told me i qualified for a free prize for using my cc online. told them i didnt want there free gift and to loose my number.  same deal here,, I answer the call and they hang up.. call back and its the recording. Whats going on here? whats the purpose of the call if they dont leave a mess or answer when you call them!!

I changed my number to get away from a person who stole my identity, now I am getting calls from this number!! Viking magazine! I went to their website and filled out the form to be put on the do not call list. It better work!

Called once but didn't leave message. I called back and said i could leave message or press 9 to have number removed from calling list so i went ahead and pressed 9.

They repeatedly call me and never leave a message and when I answer they just hang up.

just wanted to give out there there info
