at its best!

I use to work for the company! They have changed their name several
times due to the scam they were doing. I was given the inside reasons
for the name changes. They claimed they were bought out several times
but in reality people were catching on to their scheme, so they had to
dodge the attention. This was told to me by someone who has been working
there for 7 years. Everyone sits in a small room. Each person has a
computer and a headset that pulls up telephone numbers and addresses and
the computer automatically dials the number for the rep. There's a
script that we had to read to each and every person we call. After the
script we set the person up with a package. After the package is set we
send the calls up to a "lead" or as they would say supervisor. After
that the call is out of my hands. After doing some ease dropping on one
of the "leads" call i overheard how they would be billing the customers
and it made completely no sense. For each person there was a different
price and i wasnt understanding why especially after the script says
that they would be charged 18.70 a month for 5 magazines. Just about
everyone in that building has a felony. LOOK AT WHO HAS ACCESS TO YOUR
INFORMATION!!! CRIMINALS!!! This company had a horrible way of getting
new reps. No Background Check, and No Drug Test. The sales reps have no
access to these peoples information except their name and address. THE
LEADS ARE COMMITTING THIS SCAM. I have the direct line to the manager
her name is Kellie the number her direct line is 770 889 6933 EXT 1050
she or someone will answer this line.... And if you think this is a joke
i have her direct cell phone number 770 276 5152 since she harasses you
all call her and harass her... GET YOUR MONEY BACK DO NOT I REPEAT DO
NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLISHERS. THAT IS THE NAME THEY GO
BY IN THE SCRIPT!!!!! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE RESPOND THERE'S A
LOT MORE BUT TOO MUCH TO WRITE I AM HERE TO HELP IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS. I HAD TO QUIT THIS JOB ITS A SHAME AND ITS PITIFUL TO STEALS
SOMEONES HARD EARNED MONEY!

I am a current employee of North Atlanta Magazine Company. The last thing that our company is anything but a scam. The only reason that the prices ever differ is because there are many different ways to pay the payments of 18.70 per month.

You can pay for multiple payments at a time to make the payments quicker. All of the employees learned this during training. The Publishers is not a scam,we deliver all the magazines we say we will and never charge the customer a price they dont agree with.

#3 UPDATE Employee

North Atlanta Magazine

AUTHOR: ally.bear - (United States of America)

hey ,
as far as i was concerned North Atlanta Magazine is not a rip off . it may be an aggressive telesales corporation , but there is no credit card scam going on .

the price is the same for everyone , however , there are many different ways to pay it . it is still $ 18 . 70 a month for each customer . sometimes it is easier to lump those many payments of $ 18 . 70 into a few less payments of greater amounts . 

I am a current employee at this corporation and there is no rip - off , or scams that I am aware of .
