Reading America Scam Roswell Georgia

I was called one day after work saying I had won a $1000 shopping spree. I was on my cell phone so the lady on the phone was cutting in and out. She then went on to tell me about magazines that I could receive. She got her supervisor on the phone who asked a bunch of questions. We got cut off 3 times but the woman called me back.

She started telling me about all these charges and I told her I didn't understand how the cost was that much because she said I would receive 6 magazines for $2.00 a piece. I told her that did not come out correctly. She tried to explain again and I still told her it did not make sense. All I wanted is to get off the phone and since she kept calling me I figured if I just answered the questions she would leave me alone.

I received some papers in the mail about all the magazines I could get and a form to sign to get my $1000 shopping spree. I just left the papers and never did anything with them. All of a sudden I started getting charged on my bank account but did not receive any magazines.

I dug out those papers after reading about this company online and wrote cancel on every form. Also I wrote a letter telling them to stop billing me and that I would take legal actions if they did not. I gave them 30 days to reemburse me. I recieved a phone call from the company after I had been billed again saying I owed them money.

I told the lady I cancelled that and would not pay anything. She said I agreed to it, I told her I never signed anything. She went on to say that I had been recorded agreeing to it. I told her I would get a lawyer involved. All she said is that if I did not pay it would be sent to collections. I told her I didn't care I just did not want to be harrassed anymore. She then rudely went on to say "your account will be in collections." Then she hung up.
