on May 25, 2001 I received a telephone call at my place of employment from as the other lady put it "a rapidly speaking individual". I was told by this person that I was a runner up in a contest to win a free trip. He gave me a big speach on his company and the word free came out of this persons mouth about every fifth word. I to felt like I would have a free trial.
Within one hour my credit card was charged in the amount of $58.23. I was told by the person that I spoke with that I would receive a packet in the mail that would include the list of thousand of magazine they offer and I could change the magazines any time i wanted. I was also told I would receive a "free watch"...I am sure it was worth about $5.00. Well I never received these items...now I receive Magazines I do not read and I am sure they can not sell in the stores, because people wouldn't pay money to read them.
After not receiveing the information I was told I would...I canceled my credit card so they could not charge me again. On the 25th of June 2001 I receive a call at my Place of employment from a young lady wanted new credit card information. I informed the young lady that I wanted the account canceled and I would not send any money. I told her I did not receive the informatiom I was to get. She told me she did not know what I was talking about....that the company did not send out packets such as I was told.
In the past months I have recieved calls everyday at work and home. Even after telling them not to call my work they will call 2 to 3 times a day. I spoke with one man on Saterday October 6, 2001. Also told him I wanted the account canceled...explained to him everything. He said they do have packets. When I told him I never received mine and I was not paying for the service....I was told that what the young lady told me had nothing to do with my account and I would have to pay. I was past my 10 day period to cancele
What I find so funny is the fact that I have complained to at least 3 people about not getting the papers to change my magazines I receive....not one of them have sent them to me. Only bills...any good respectable company would of sent them out right away trying to keep your buisness!!!!!!!!!
Now I receive in the mail a letter stating that I can either pay $640.64 to keep the magazines that I DO NOT READ coming or to cancele the account I could pay $384.38!
That Is a lot of money for 4 months of magazine that I DO NOT and WILL NOT read!!!!!!
