I was contacted one day to subscribe to Woman's Day and a few other magazines, in return the company would send me a diamond watch as a promotion. I never received the watch, but instead I received a soft porn magazine entitled "Maxim" which shocked me for days. I am a grandmother of 20 children and I am loathe to think that if something happened to me and they went through my belongings and my legacy would be that I would read trash. The company IRL or Active Periodicals drained my bank account because I foolishly believed that they would deduct a "small fee" for handling. I have received to date 10 or 11 magazines I did not order nor am I interested in reading. I subscribe to a few horse magazines and my tastes are not in the magazines they sent and then billed me for. I received a bill today for $119.47 and my husband contacted them and attempted to cancel all magazines and they attempted to extort 360 dollars approx.in order to cancel the subscriptions. I am outraged that someone would think I am so stupid to send money for something I do not want and did not order. I have changed my bank account and I will not receive any further magazines. I want to warn others about this scam and hope that nobody else has the misfortune of having to deal with this same situation. I am contacting the Attorney Generals of both Utah and Florida and the District Attorney and the Better Business Bureau and the Police Dept. For mail fraud and extortion.
