NCP / Nature Coast Publishers’ Service Telephone Scam
I've been receiving calls from this number for at least a week, but when I call
back, it sends me straight to a tone. This time, I answered and was told that
because of my relationship with "the publishers," I was eligble for a $1000
online shopping gift certificate and 60 issue subscriptions to 5 national
magazines (two of which, I alreay subscribe to, so they clearly weren't in
league with the actual publishers). They told me that 3 were free, and 2 would
be at a discounted fee of $3.83 a week, to be billed monthly. But their behavior
and questions seemed very off. They were clearly in possession of my full name,
my phone number, and my address.
The first person, Danielle, failed to adequately answer
my questions, claiming she was new. She said she couldn't give me a company name
better than NCP, although she started to say Nature Coast, and then corrected
herself. She asked what I do for a living and my age, in order to help the
publishers better target consumers. I was very skeptical, but she said there
were no automatic payments and that some information would come in the mail.
Then she told me her supervisor would call back to confirm some information. She
said that the order had already been put through and that my order number was
1221.
When the gentleman, Nathan, called back momentarily, he
repeated the profession and age I gave the first person and asked what the name
of my company was and what year I had been born. When I told him that I wanted
more information from them before I was willing to give him the information, he
said "This is just for the records. I could care less. For all I care, you can
make something up." When I continued to question him, he screamed "Ya' know
what? We don't need your business," and hung up on me. This is clearly and
evidently not normal.
