Got a call from one paper London & Thames Experss for me to advertise. I had no proof before print to sign off, called and called with no luck, they printed regardless, then found my card had been charged over and over again by other newpapers. Wiltshire guardian had obtained my details from London &Thames express, called me up about 10 times and even though I refused, I found they had got hold of my card details from ??? and sent my card details to JPC to be processed.
An absolute nightmare.
NEVER give your card over the phone to any cold calling advertisers who tell you they have a last minute space.
