ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13,2013, I RECEIVED A LANDLINE PHONE CALL FROM FAMIY READERS CLUB, 1-888-788-5402, LOCATED A 800 5TH AVEVUE,SUITE 4100, SEATTLE, WA 98104.

I SPOKE WITH "SUSAN",SUPERVISOR WHO SAID SHE WAS OFFERING A $10.00 DIS COUNT  FROM $49.00 TO $39.00 ON MY SUBSCRIPTION ACCOUNT FOR A 30 MONTH PERIOD.

I TOLD HER THAT I HAD NO SUCH ACCOUNT, AND REQUESTED THAT THIS ACCFOUNHT AND THE SUBSCRIPTION BE CANCELLED IMMEDIATELY. SHE SAID IT COULD NOT BE CANCEELED, AND THAT MY CHECKING ACCOUNT WOULD BE BILLED ACCORDINGLY. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE WHO WAS INCHARGE OF THE COMPANY, AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS N O I COULD SPEAK TO,OTHER THAN HER.  I CONTINUED TO ASK FROR HER SUPERIOR, AND THE CALL WAS DISCONNECTED.

 I IMMEDIATELY CALL THE PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE CO. WHO I HAD PLACED THR SUBSCRIPTION ORDER FOR TWO MAGAZINES (EBONY AND VEGETARIAN LIFE) IN DECEMBER 2012.  I SPOKE WITH THE COMPANY'S SCARE HOTLINE REP (JAMES) WHO STATED THEIR RECORDS SHOW NO AFFILIATION WITH THE FAMILY READERS CLUB WHATSOEVER.  AT MY REQUEST, HE AGREED TO CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION TO THE TWO MAGAZINES, AS WELL AS REMOVE MY NAME FRO THE PUBLISHERS CLEARING HOUSE MAILING LIST.

I THEN WENT ONLINE TO GOOGLE THE FAMILY READERS CLUB, AND TO MY SURPRISE I FOUND SEVERAL PAGES OF SCAM NOTIFICATION AND INDIVIDUAL CITINGS OF HOW THEY WERE BILKED OUT OF HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BY FAMILY READERS CLUB SCAMS.

I THEN CALLED "LIFE LOCK" OF WHICH I AM A MEMBER, TO REPORT THE ABOVE SCAM ATTEPT OF THIS COMPANY, WHEREBY THEY SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT MY CREDIT UNION TO CLOSE OUT MY PRESENT ACCOUNT, AND OPEN A NEW ONE. FURTHERMORE, IF THERE HAVE BEEN NO ATTEMPTS BY FAMILY READERS CLUB TO CHARGE MY ACCOUNT TO DATE, THAT I SHOULD CALL LIFE LOCK BACK, AND THEY'LL INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER.

THUS, I WILL CLOSE MY ACCOUNT THIS WEEK, AND REQUEST A NEW CREDIT CARD.

SO IN LIGHT OF ALL THIS, I SINCERELY HOPE THAT "RIPOFFREPORT.COM" CAN REFER MY NAME AND REPORT TO THE SEATTLE, WA OFFICE OR AUTHORITIES  TO ADDRESS THIS MATTER, AND MAKE SURE THAT THE FAMILY READERS CLUB IS SHUT DOWN.
