Missed call from Bauer Media

Eas

Had a missed call yesterday afternoon on my comping mobile from number 02075365164. Googling the number it appears to belong to Bauer Media. Is it worth giving them a call back, no message was left.

They just rang me offering a subscription for Fourfourtwo magazine

Same here!! They mentioned a competition and I perked up, and then ploughed into the three-issues-for-a-quid spiel and I ended up worming my way out of it.

I thought it was a call about a job - wouldn't have answered otherwise!!

I had the same call. It was a bit of a red face moment for me to be honest. They asked whether I purchased the magazine from the shop and I tentatively said "yes" having never heard of the magazine and not remembering the comp I'd entered (could have been one of thousands). They then asked me what I specifically liked about the magazine and I was stumped. I panicked and asked them to call me back tomorrow because I was busy. I Googled it and it's a football mag. I know nothing about football! I was dreading the call tomorrow but if it's just trying to flog me a subscription then I won't answer it.

Guess I'm still waiting for my first win then.

I say the reviews - regardless of the magazine, there is almost always a review of something

I had the call too, dead when when I picked up the phone but looked number up and found it was a marketing call, magazine subscriptions.

Got the same call today. That moment of excitement/anticipation when they say, "You recently entered a competition..." :mad:

I said I buy it occasionally for my partner tip in case that happens again in the future!

I had this call too which I answered in the queue at Lidl - because I'm classy like that :rotfl::rotfl:- said I was on my way into work and could they ring some other time. Now that I've seen this I'll file them in the 'DO NOT ANSWER' section of my contacts list!

Ah Velocity_girl that came to me in the 'oh darn I should have said that' moment that I experienced after the event. I'll know for next time. I had the same excited feeling too. Maybe next time hey?
