I recieved a call that I had been chosen to recieve a free 1000 dollar shopping spree for being in good standing with my credit card company. I would also receieve four free magazines and a subscription to TV guide for only $2.88 a week for 48 months (later they ammended it to 29.90 a month for two years). I stupidly agreed and gave them my billing information. Two minutes later I tried to call the company back to cancel my order but I could not get anyone to answer. I looked up the website they gave me to get my "free" shopping spree and it is a very low budjet high priced website that charges online fees of 5 dollars for every purchase you make and way overcharges for shipping. I immediately e-mailed the website and was told it was not their problem that I agreed and they could not cancel my order. I called the help line and recieved no response from them either. Later a woman called me and told me that I could get out of my agreement if I waited a week or two until I got the first shipment of magazines and called the 1-800 help number, which she said she did not have with her so she could not tell me immediately. She told me I should lie and say I had kids and could not afford the payments. She was very sympathatic and convincing and got me to go though the process to verify that I bought the magazines. All I want is to get out of this agreement which will end up costing me over 700 dollars in magazine sales I don't want and probably more in shipping and "online buying fees". Do Not Deal with this company. They did not leave me any way to contact them back and twisted me this way and that till I was a wreck.
