She calls asking if my magazine has been arriving ok and if i would like a free adult video from Maxim... Sure i tell her... She says that the subscription is in my wifes name and wants to know how old she is... Then my age... So i tell her....

She then asks which credit card company gives me the best service? I tell her im not going to answer that and she gets pissy, says fine, and hangs up....

WTF?!

The important thing is, are you still going to receive the free adult video???

You blew it.
When asked which credit card company gives you the best service, you answer.
If she asked what the number was on that card it would be an entirely different issue.

Maxim does adult videos? I smell a scam. But I wonder how many people have fallen for it.

That was probably a good point at which to end the conversation. Next she might have been asking for your mother's maiden name and the name of your favorite pet. :p

Edit: I hope you still get the porn, though.

I've actually received that phone call too. Some female asked how I liked my Maxim subscription and asked if she could send me some sort of package with nudie magazines. She also asked how old I was first though, which made it seem more legitimate. I told her I wasn't interested (since I wasn't really listening and I figured it was some new pay subscription thingie). She said OK and goodbye.

My god.

There are still people who RESPOND to telemarketers?

Stop please, you're only doing the rest of us a disservice.
