My sad story is the same as several I've read on this site & I too, should have known better.
A female "college student", & very polite knocked on my door with the story of trying to win a trip to Cancun by selling magazine subscriptions. I asked what school she attended & she did tell me a well known college here in Connecticut. It was pouring rain out, so I let her in & after some hesitation, finally agreed to buying 1 magazine.
She then claimed someone was supposed to be picking her up, but they must have gotten lost because they were late. She asked to use the phone, which I let her do. She supposedly spoke to someone, thanked me & then left.
I had almost forgotten about the whole thing till I was going thru some paperwork the other day & found my receipt. It's been almost 3 months with not one issue of the magazine being received. The receipt has Palmetto's address on it, but no phone number. That's when I decided to search them on the Internet & found this site with all the complaints.
I'm planning on registering a complaint with the Better Business Bureau & the Atty General here in Connecticut as well. With all the reports I see here, I can't believe the media hasn't picked up on this!!!
