   My experience with 716 Services has been shady at best and I have been dealing with them for the better part of going on three years. It all started in 2011 when a gentleman came to our door and offered us this "Amazing" deal on magazine subscriptions for a significantly reduced rate. My girlfriend and I picked out several publications that they offered and we were quoted an up front cost and then a lump sum payment on the remainder of what we were told was a one year subscription.

We filled out the contract which basically looked like someone had printed it on a legal pad using a really bad printer and my girlfriend signed it. At the bottom of the contract was some fine print but it was not legible in any way shape or form so we called the company to ask about the terms of our agreement and cancellation policy. The representative advised us of the terms of our agreement however when it came to the cancellation policy we had to submit a cancellation request in writing and we were advised that is all we had to do.

   The sales person the offered us the services did not mention any 3 day cancellation period and neither did the customer service represenative that we spoke to on the phone until we called after two weeks of not getting anything and attempted to cancel. Shortly after our cancellation attempt we began receiveing our publications and we called 716 Services again to request that they cancell our subscriptions because we were no longer interested. The representative was extremely snotty and basically told us to take a hike and that we could not cancell.

Being as we were not interested in their services and had requested immediate cancellation we did not pay them anything beyond the initial $50 - $75 up front payment that we made to the sales person who came to our door. Now I am receiveing calls at work from a gentleman named "Mark" if that is his real name stating he is a federal investigator. Mark calls me approximately 2-3 times per year typically beginning, middle, and end of the year for the last two years.

Mark tells me that my girlfriend and I have warrants issued for our arrests for federal mail fraud and or that our assets are frozen in the maount of thousands of dollars that we do not have currently and have never had even though our bill with 716 is roughly only $400.00 so where this thousands of dollars is coming from is beyond me. He has even stated that he personally is going to come and arrest both of us on mail fraud charges.

I have told this gentleman dozens of times to quit contacting me and I have filed complaints with the FBI and local law enforcement against this company and this gentleman and basically everyone says it is a civil matter and I would have to retain a lawyer and sue the company and the individual and no one is willing to assist in any way. I am tired of these harassing and threatening phone calls. If anyone knows of a service that can help me please let me know because I want to see these people go out of business, they are liars, fraudulent, and mean individuals with no moral fiber.
