A seemingly nice guy came to my door selling magazines. I didn't really want or need one, but I know how hard it is to do door-to-door sales and how awful and discouraging it is when no one buys from you. He focused on the fact that I said that I was a Christian, talked nice with me for quite a while, saying all kinds of things that I know now had to have been lies. I ended up ordering Guidepost magazine. I didn't really want to spend the money but I figured that it wouldn't hurt to add some quality reading material to our coffee table.
Well, 5 months went by and I never received an issue. I called numerous times, not even to find an answering machine. I went to the physical location only to find that they had moved. I tried the email address but knew that that would be pointless. I decided that I had been "screwed" and was angry at myself for being so naive, and angry at them for being so deceptive and evil to take college students' hard earned money.
Someone posted on this website (usacomplaints.com) the phone number for Kelly Zoppi (903 429-3497). The first few times I called, there was no answer, but eventually I was successful, and they issued me a full refund within a matter of a week or so.
I was curious what "the deal" had been with Threedom Sales, and the girl on the phone (at Kelly's number) said that before they had allowed their individual contracted companies to handle their own customer service, which made for a lot of dead ends for those of us who were cheated. She said they now handle all customer service and are working to rebuild their reputation.
I am grateful that I was given my money back, but I will forever be hesitant to buy anything from someone I don't know personally, and I will forever be disgusted at the deceitfulness of the scumbag who came to my door to sell me that magazine, and had the nerve to ask me for my phone number (for HIM to call me)!! Thank God I didn't give it to him!
