On oct 23 i had two kids come to my door posing as colledge students. They were trying to sell magazines to get points so they could go on a trip to spain. I told them many time that i was not intrested in buying any magazines. They just kept pressing and pressing. I should have just shut the door on them, but i'm not that type of guy. So i just kept listening to there pitch.
Then they told me that i could still help them out without actually buying magazines. They told me that i could just write them two checks (one each) and cancel within 3 days and they would still get the points. I was still a little off about the whole thing but agreed.
They also told me that my neighbor did the same thing for them and showed me the checks. So i wrote them two checks. Wich was for two subsciptions each person for a total of 4 magazine subscriptions. This totaled $92 for each check. A total of $182. I thought that was a crazy price for 4 magazines, but figured that i was canceling that day anyway, so it wasn't a big deal. They assured me that if i canceled my checks would never be processed and i would get them back with a reciept. And then they left.
Well they did cash my checks. So i called them many times with no call back or answer. I left many messages on an answering machine. Nothing. Then i threatened to call the cops and the BBB and they called back within the hour. This was about two weeks later. The lady said to fax her a copy of the checks and they would refund the money in 5 to 10 buisness days. That was two months ago and i still have not recieved a refund or even a call. So i am still calling mutiple times to the same answering machine and still not getting an answer or call back.
This company is a huge scam. And they are really good at giving you the run around. Watch out. Hope my story helps.
