Angry B.A.S.S. Mag Called Me Memorial Day

I could not believe that I received a sales call from Bassmaster Magazine wanting me to upgrade my script for 5 years for $125. I asked the "gentleman" if he knew today was a holiday. He said yes but they don't get off. I said McGinnis better get his $hit together and hung up. I couldn't believe it. Time of call 7:58 PM DST

Wow that is surprising that they would do that. I would have said the same thing.

TOTATLY uncalled for. unfortunantly the people who did the calling aren't able to make the decisions as to WHAT holidays they are off. there USED to be a time when a NATIONAL holiday was just that........a HOLIDAY. seems like now it is jsut another day to make another dollar for the corporations. saddens me really.

I have received that same call about 4 times in the past 2 weeks with the same ol spill..They said it was an offer for the "new" customers. I told them that I've been a member over ten years and that I just renewed my membership a couple months ago for 3 years..Told them to put me on the do not call list or whatever they had to do to stop callin me every other day..

After reading this, I'm starting to have my doubts about B.A.S.S.

I got the same call but if I renewed I would get a $250 gift card to Bass Pro. I didn't do it cuz I had just renewed. I called BASS and asked about this cuz it just seemed to good to be true, well BASS said this was a scam that is going around.
