Budget Marketing
Magazine Source ripoff victimized many consumers

I have seen a few recent posts about Budget Marketing and thought I'd add what I have to the bunch. Be sure to add your comments to www.bbb.org and check out the attorney that is gathering consumers for a Class Action lawsuit.
Good Luck!
