I, too was contacted by the USA Magazine Exchange Company. I naively accepted the deal, 6 magazines for 4 years for only $13.44 a month. The next day, the company called back, and I asked if I could cancel the order, because I am a college student and only work part-time and I cannot afford $58.24 a month. The lady became rude and told me I could not cancel the order at any time.By this time I was very worried I had been the victim of a scam.
About a week later, I recieved the materials in the mail. One of the forms says Confirmation Form, which I believed would have to be sent in, in order to be billed. WRONG!!! I was billed. So today I decided to try and find a website for the company so I could email them. I never found a website, but what i did find was this website with all of these complaints. So immediately I called my credit card company and reported fraudulent activity. My credit card company cancelled my card, sent me a new one with a new account number, and reported the fraudulent activity by USA Magazine Exchange.
They are now investigating this company and trying to get my money back for me. I am also going to send out a chain email to all of my friends and family to warn them of this scam. I hope you will all do the same, and hopefully we can get this to stop.
