Sorry that I didn't check the web when I paid for the magazines. Nice salesperson but a bit too glib. He was sweating profusely as it was a hot day. I offered him water and bought a couple of mags. Paid for the mags with a check. At first he tried to hit me with a $106 bill - really was pressing the whole "I'm earning my way off the streets" pitch. I spent $58.
Didn't feel comfortable about the exchange and completed the "Notice of Cancellation" form within the 3 day period and faxed it to the number on the slip. Even called to notify them.
They quickly cashed my check and have ignored calls and additional faxes. They are supposed to refund within "10 business days" and that was two months ago. The NEVER answer their phone.
I called the Orange police department and business license department. They say the address is a PO BOX like a "Mailboxes Etc". I called the Orange Better Business Bureau and they had a number of complaints about Platinum Sales.
I figure the money is gone, my mistake for trusting this organization. I have read some of the other posts and have surmised that this organization is a scam through and through. Any "business" that never responds to customer inquiries is a joke. BEWARE!
