I received a phone call in August 2015 about a magazine subscription where I would receive 5 magazines of my choice.

i would pay for 1 year and receive the magazines free for 3 more years after that.

i was promised a diamond watch also for subscribing .

the magazines would take 8-16 weeks to arrive and I would pay $57.50 US every month via my credit card.

i was told that I would be receiving  a package in the mail with all the details. All I got was a letter of confirmation and agreement a few weeks later.

when I saw the amount I had to pay I decided to cancel this subscription, when I phoned the 1-800 number, which is a US phone, 

i was told I was too late to cancel, I was not able to cancel.

i made several calls asking for a list of magazines I was to receive , was told I could only get some from a short 

list because I lived in Canada. 

when I agreed to this I assumed I was dealing with a Canadian company.

i changed some magazines . Months went by with no magazines arriving and never did receive a watch.

i received a phone call from the US saying I had not paid the second month. I said I had and I had the money order..which ended up costing over $80 , to prove it. 

She said to avoid this confusion I could pay the whole amount and would not be hassled with late payments. 

I agreed at the cost of over $800 US....more than I had been told..

I sent an email asking what magazines I was to receive. A reply from Ashley said I was to get 3 magazines..

Canadian Gardening

Canadian Living

Our Canada

Dec. 3,4 th 2015 I received 2 Canadian Licing and 2 Elle Canada...

i phoned again on Dec. .4 th. to understand why I was receiving only 3 magazines and not 5 and why

I was getting Elle Canada.

the girl on the phone was very rude  . She said when I had received the last call I cancelled the Readers Digest 

and the subscription of 3 magazines was extended to 5 years instead of 3.

i have no idea that had been agreed to, I has wanted to change my magazines not cancel 2 of them. 

I tried to explain this to the girl and she became very rude, antagonistic saying sh had been on the phone with me for 5 minutes and was not going to talk to me anymore. 

She said she had all the calls in front of her and all this had been explained to be already and she din,t want to waste her time.

i apologized several times but she didn,t even let me speak. out of frustration, I hung up.

i am kicking my self for not keeping track of these conversations.

i have never dealt with a more rude, confusing company and I am hoping nobody else gets taken by them.

i will be writing to the Canada Mags address in Monteeal and lodge a complaint as well as writing to the magazines 

themselves.

Frustrated and as a pensioner, a large of money lost...
