I am now in the same situation as the other individual and have taken the same steps, i have filed a comlaint with the state i live in and the state of New York. I have been told that they used illegal sales tactics by stating the gift before what they were selling and also have been told by magazine companies they "represent" or so they said that the magazine companies themselves had no idea they were in operation. I have tried to cancel and they said the time was up however upon follow up with the magazine publishers specificly Time and another was told the order had not been placed which is contradicting what Family Readers said. I was also under the influence at the time I agreed and tried to cancel 12 or 15 days later and was told I would need to pay $400 for the magazines they had pre-ordered. That is what prompted me to call the companies directly and was told they had not placed the order and one lady named vivian said typically they take 120 days to order after Family readers gets their initial payment. I am have talked to a lawyer who advised me to not pay and cancel my card and that if it became a bigger problem he would help. I would love to see these people brought to justice for running a poor business and using deceptive sales tactics and outright lies (no free gift, and still have yet to see most promised magazines 3 months later).
