In November of 2004 I received a phone call from the company Internation Publishers Consortium, they said they represented TV Guide and that my subcription was up for renewal. I checked my current guide and it was indeed almost up.
They said that for $92.56 I would receive 104 issues of TV Guide, 48 issues of "The Week" and 26 issues of ESPN. I don't even like ESPN, but I wanted the TV Guide, and this was in line with the prices I had paid before, I thought.
They also said that I would be billed in two equal payments, and that I should receive a bill in 2-4 weeks. I said ok. Well, 5 months passed and I never received the billing statements, instead, in April of 2005 I get a Overdue billing statement from them saying I was past due on my account. What account? I never got the first Bill! They had turned it over to a Collection Agency!
I called the collection agency, told them I had never received the first bill, and then proceeded to pay them in two equal installments just like I had been promised. Ok. All should have been well.
Well, it is now Feb. 2006 and I have yet to receive the FIRST TV Guide!!! I have made numerous calls to them, I have resorted to turning them into the BBB of Arizona, I have called everyone that I can think of including TV Guide who was very uninterested in the fact that someone was using them to run scams on people.
The last person that I spoke with at Internation Publishers Consortium was a little girl named Sherry, when I said that I wanted my money back, she just laughed and said "Well, that's not happening!" To date, I have received only the ESPN magazines nothing else that was promised!
DO NOT BE TAKEN IN AS I WAS!! All people who say they are representing TV Guide are Not. These people are con artists of the finest kind. They claim to represent legitimate companies and don't. They will take your money, and if you are lucky you might get what you pay for.
