A young man by the name of Roy McPeek came to my door this morning selling magazine subscriptions to go to the soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
After giving him a check for $98 for two 3 yr. Subscriptions, I realized my worst nightmare.
I investigated the company online thru this website, then went to their website and found the picture of Roy. I then put a stop payment on the check and contacted the Cary Police Dept. To get a report written up.
They said I did the right thing by stopping payment on the check and reminded me to be sure and send the "Notice of Cancellation" signed and to send it by registered mail to be sure I have a signature from someone in the company for my own protection. You do have 72 hrs. To legally cancel the contract with them.
Watch out as most fraud laws only come into play if you don't receive your product after a reasonable time. With their new methods, you never receive any product as it is supposed to go to troops overseas or to a children's hospital like St. Jude's. So that leaves you with no legal recourse. Roy also said that half the amount of the gift magazine subscription was tax-deductible. That was pretty much when I knew I had been "Had".
