Phone calls from Vendorsa

[ColdNorth]

This may be another stupid question but I have been getting phone calls from different so called IOP's .  The last one said he was from the old dds which I had used years ago.  I am assuming these are scammers but how the heck are they getting my phone #???? Anyone experience calls offering magazines.  I just don't trust the subscriptions.  Any advice would be appreciated.

If folks are "cold calling" be very skeptical ...

Years before this site was established, I used a Cali vendor for a few things... They folded (surprise)

Now, I still get emails saying it is time for me to re-order... Have my address four addresses ago... AH ..NO

Sounds fishy at best..

I agree with Ice.  Dds has been gone for years.  I used to order from another very popular vendor that folded, and my information was sold by them.  I still get calls and emails saying they are back.  Be careful of anytime you haven't initiated communication first.

BTW: None of us will ever call a valid question as "dumb." This lifestyle is differing to many of you. And we are in the midst of a pandemic.

So many are now in pain in this life, none of us will ever deliberately add to another's pain. You are safe here.
