I received a visit from one "Tiffany Johnson" of "Gemini" sales co. (a blank line with "sales co" on the Customer's Copy of Palmetto Marketing Inc. On July 19.
A very friendly female salesperson claiming she's near to winning a trip to Cancun... Yep, Cancun -identical MO to all of the rest of the sales reps for Palmetto Marketing Inc.- talked me into purchasing a subscription. Total cost for Popular Mechanics was $24, with the $10 "processing service" tagged on.
At the time of this writing it is now September 6 and I have yet to receive any issues from Popular Mechanics. This prompted me to look up Palmetto Marketing Inc. To lodge a complaint, and a search on the internet found this website, usacomplaints.com with scores of complaints on Palmetto Marketing Inc.
In hindsight it appears that I too have fallen victim to another scam - the lack of any 800 number to contact nor e-mail should have been an immediate tip-off of the shady nature of Palmetto Marketing Inc. Thankfully it only cost me $34 to learn this valuable lesson - money well-spent and a lesson not soon forgottten.
Should you receive a knock at your door from any representative of Palmetto Marketing Inc., please feel free to immediately ignore their request that you purchase any subscription, do NOT tip them (for what, really?), and send them on their way.
