Well, Quite honestly, nothing has happened Yet, However,a young man of 23 came by my house today, and said he was trying to raise points (20,000 of them) to earn 1000$ ,to help pay his way through College.

He presented his case to me, I felt him at the time to be real. I chose my magazine(only 1,at 62$ for 3 years), and wrote him a check, then signed the reciept, way too fast Im afraid.

I did not see in the fine print(which sadly I did not read until he left and then magically dissapeared from the neighborhood!) where it said Checks Deposited Immediately!

Even though he had just previously told me, they would Have to hold it(they're supposed policy) for what would have been 3 weeks, minus the weekends!

That would have made it payable right around when i actually have money! Now I sit here and worry, will it come out of my Bank tommorow?

I am actually 120$ in the hole with my bank right now! Does that mean they will keep bouncing and bouncing until the day I am payed, and then will they take it, or more,will they add 00s or will I even get that magazine at all?

After reading all the reports online,and the Huge amounts of complaints I have now read, I am extremly nervous to say the least!

Needless to say, Im Never writing a check like that again!!! But Now What!!!!????

paranoia... no more! every facet of the company is legitimate and honest, except for the agents' sales pitches.

AUTHOR: Bob - (U.S.A.)

I am a current employee of Great Lakes Circulation. I'm on of the behind the scenes guys. Not a door-to-door sales agent, I'm one of the guys that actually processes your orders. I work directly with the owner of the company. The fact is, is that every facet of the company is legitimate and honest, except for the agents' sales pitches. You write your reciept, and hand the agent your check. The agent gives you two copies of the reciept, takes one copy of it and your check. The agent gives the receipt and check to their manager, who promptly sends it to good ol' Evergreen CO. We take your check, put it in the safe. Then we take your receipt, enter all of your information (mind you, we DO NOT keep any records of account information) into a database, then distribute your information to the Magazine Publishers accordingly. within 120 days, you will recieve your magazine. Your check is deposited as soon as possible, but usually not before 2 or 3 business days.

Cancellation: Your receipt is the ONLY contract that is acknowledged. It clearly states that no verbal contract is accepted, and you have 3 busines days to cancell your order. If you're smart, you send one of the copies of your reciept to GLC. We (I do a lot of these) take your litle Pink or Yellow sheet of paper, enter your information into the database, and send you a little postcard that tells you to send us a copy of your cleared check, or a copy of your bank statement. If you do this within a month, we send you a refund check.

The thing is that the worst thing you can do is put a stop payment on your check. If you do that, you will NOT recieve a refund, and we'll even slap you in the face by sending your information to CGS.

Honestly, it's a simple and straight forward process. And really, Nobody gives a d**n about your account information.

identical reciepts

AUTHOR: Katheryn - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, September 13, 2005

BTW, I just sent them back one of the two identical reciepts, saying "You the Buyer may Cancel this Transaction at any Time(by sending back this half of the reciept) Prior to Midnight of the Third Business Day,

So I did, BIGTIME, And Put a STOPCHECK on my check, only to learn from my bank , they can still use the routing number and my account number on the check , to still do other transactions online and such!!!

And in order to completely STOP them, I have to Cancel my own Bank Account and get a new one, WHAT A PAIN!!! Nasty Scammers!!!
