Funny thing, I worked that scam magazine company called Chapel Sales back in 2008 for 7 months, they changed their named to Millennium sales and I'm sure it was because many people reported them online as a scam and i wouldn't be surprised if they changed it again. Feel even more bad for the people they hire, because if they don't have much at home, they get treated like (Inappropriate Content Removed) by these people when they don't make their qoutas and people even got beat up there, managers threaten physical harm, they make fun of you for not selling enough of those bogus subscriptions that no one receives anyway. They aren't even affiliated with actual publishers. I think they order subscriptions themselves and sale those for way higher profit. I had no idea they were ripping people off til one woman I sold a book to sent me an email telling me she didn't receive her book (I gave her my email address). I felt bad, and when I told my supervisor, she basically says the same things the people with the 1 800 numbers say, it's going to take a while, or their order wasn't in the system yet, then if customers keep calling, they just don't answer the number, or have the numbers changed. I believe the people who do get their orders are people who threaten the company enough for them to send them what they paid for. Now the company I worked for had us going door to door in different local areas in big cities with nothing but a wallet looking type folder, with receipts and a pin as well as some kinder garden looking booklet listing all the books and magazines they supposedly have. They didn't care about our safety either sending us out even late at night I'm talking til 11pm and midnight. The people whose door we knock on at those times were more concerned. And people even got robbed walking around with a booklet that looks like a wallet filled with cash (they sent us to ghetto areas pretty risky). Leaving was the best thing that happened to me, cuz I had a family to go home to and I get a decent amount of money now unlike when I was working with them. And I wish I could rub that in their faces since they like to think that because people working for them who don't make their qoutas are broke and worthless (how could they make those qoutas when so many people know they are a scam and the prices are ridiculously high?) See me, I immediately look up names of companies and see if there are contact numbers or a legit website. And you even have to do more research than that not to mention should be approved through the Better Business Bureau. Companies like this make me paranoid to buy anything overseas, because it is almost hard to keep up with these scammers here. They always choose people from states far from the state their office is in. And by the time they leave that state (the workers that do the selling) that's around the time customers are supposed to start receiving their purchases and most of them don't.

Don't know if she still works with them. But when I was their, she said she was with them for 12 years and she hired me. And they are supposed to provide you transportation when you want to leave as they do when they hire you. But that was years ago I just want to (Inappropriate Content Removed) on them.
