Company is a telemarketer selling magazine subscriptions. Tell you that the only charges for subscriptions is shipping and handling. $4.95 for each month considering you get one magazine per month, You do the math. Promises that you can cancel and get return of monies withdrawn from Credit Card. Nothing could be further from the truth. Told company that I wished to bring to the fore Federal Statute 226.15 which is buyers rescision.
This allows any telemarketed or home sale to be withdrawn within 72 hours. Claims that because they called Florida that they didn't count. My understanding is that Virginia is still in the US and is covered by Federal Statutes. Secondly, the telemarketer must regester in the State of Florida and pay a bond.
At the time of the agreement no registration was held in the State of Florida and no bond was posted. Even though they give incorrect 800 numbers to call back these are incorrect. The only way to reach them is to go on line and go to contact us. Unless you can find the correct 800 number which I did and was promptly told to stuff it. (I am paraphrasing this) They said they couldn't care less what I thought the charges would stand and that they were going to hang up.
I have filed with the Attorney's General US, Attorney's General State of Florida, CapitalOne Credit Card Company, Dept of agriculture, customer services, This is the department that registers telemarketers in Florida. I have had the charges reversed because the Credit Card Company sees the correctness of this line of thought. The Professional Readers Service has threatened to refile the charges. They will have service from the State of Florida Agriculture Dept of Customer Services. I am awaiting ruling from the Attorney's General US and Attorney's General State of Florida.
Don't be hustled into purchasing these magazines through their heavy handed business practices.
