This is another one of those contests for students looking to pay for college by earning points and winning prizes thru magazine sales. The salesperson who came to my door seemed legitimate, especially after relating a story about someone who got ripped off in another state a few years back, and he said that I would get a confirmation phone call from the company in 2-3 days and that I would also receive a thank-you note from the organization that I donated the magazine t0 (they didn't have any titles I wanted so I chose to donate the subscription to a local shelter). I got neither. I called the customer service number listed on the receipt and was connected to a data entry center who had "no authority to do anything about my order." The representative also said that Purebred Sales, LLC has no telephone number and that there is nothing that can be done and no one to contact about any orders - even though the receipt states "If you are not completely satisfied or have questions about this order, please cal 760-489-5578 or fax 760-489-5598." This phone number connects to the contracted data entry center, "This sales company [Purebred Sales LLC] has contracted South Coast Circulation Inc to guarantee the fulfillment of the terms of this agreement." Some guarantee. Some fulfillment. They can't do anything.
These salespeople encourage you to and prefer that you give them cash. I gave them a check and am in the process of stopping payment. My bank has recommended contacting the State Attorney General to see if other complaints have been filed, obviously others have had similar experiences with this company and other names by which it is known that are all listed at the same address.
