We purchased a magazine subscription from a young teen that came to our door. She said she and other teens were working their way across the United States selling subscriptions to help boost their "confidence", work alongside with others (including complete strangers) and also to earn points for trips and prizes. I enquired of her how her parents could let her go across country with strangers like that and she said they felt she was safe and it was helping her. After buying a subscription to Humpty Dumpty for my 2 little grandsons she told me the shocking price of $67 for 18 issues. Were told by her that it would be 6-8 wks for the magazine to start. (the receipt actually says 90-120 days) I remembered the magazine order around Christmas and checked with my son, he said they had not rec'd anything yet. I found my receipt and decided to check into it. After calling the phone number on the receipt I rec'd a message that said "all reps were not available so leave your name, phone number and receipt number and they will call back the next day. I went online and put in the crs inc name and came across over 100 complaints. Sooooooooo, do I think my grandsons are going to see their Humpty Dumpty mag? Only if Grandma goes somewhere else to buy it. Soooooo, do I think me and several others got ripped off? It appears so. And to think they used young kids to do their dirty work! Now I read they have taken money from a checking acct. So beware everyone!!!
