About 11 mths ago I got a phone call at work telling me I was qualified to recieve free catalogs of my choice. All I had to pay was s&h of $25.00 a mth and I told them that I wasn't althorized to accept for my Co. And was told that I could do it personally with no obligations just 25.00 a month and if I chose to not recieve anymore then don't send 25.00 so I accepted and a lady came to my job and I gave her $25.00 for 1 month of mag.

I never seen a magazine until 3 mths later and then I only recieved 1 out of 6 that I chose and so I decided not to do it anymore and didn't pay for another mth well to my suprise I started recieving magazines that I never even heard of or are of interest to me constantly.

Then the phone calls started every mth they would call and I told them several timed to stop sending catalogs. They tell me that them can't until i catch up my bill witch happen to be 3mths over due which is exactly how long it took to recievbe one of the magazines they said the other magazines were free for subcribing.

Well i blew them off they are now continuely harrassing me at work and at home. I tell them to stop sending magazines i didn't ask for and that they didn't even send the ones i did ask for the 1mth. they are rude and even threatening on the phone that i screen all my calls now and i shouldn't have to live this way i believe i should have gotten what i paid for and that be the end of it looks like the joke was on me now they are telling me i am 11 months behind and owe them over $300.00 for something i didn't recieve and things i do recieve but didn't ask for. i am still trying to return catalogs that i didn't ask for everytime i get one in the mail. this is a major scam and my credit is paying for it which is also wrong please be careful check there motive when they tell you it is free and can be stopped anytime it isn't and apparently it can't be.
Thank You
