Atlantic Circulation, Inc. - No Magazines

I ordered several magazines from this young man and paid him cash of $149.00 back in June of 2008, and as of today January 5, 2009 I have yet to see my magazines. I have tried calling the phone number and recieve nothing but a busy signal. I believe this company is a scam and I will be fowarding my complaint on to the Attorney General.

Second To None - Scam and cheating

I was approached at approximately 7PM by a well-dressed young gentleman, and heard two of his colleagues upstairs in my building. I was presented with a very well-worded, polite sales pitch that used strong emotional appeal to get me to purchase a magazine subscription. I was told that he was training to be a mentor for an inner-city program, and as a part...

Direct Readers Guild, Inc - Deception/Suspicious Company

I recently got a call from this supposedly magazine company at work.

They said they would put in the order for my magazines, but...

Lucid Magazine - Scam and cheating

I just finished reading a fellow rip-off about Lucid Magazine based out of L.A./San Diego and had the EXACT same experience. They sent me two sample issues which looked fine enough plus a writer's contract which I faxed back. After completing two stories for the publication, I never heard back from Shane Padamada again. Even more embarrassing, I had the...

Prestige Sales LLC - Total Misrepresentation - Huge Scam

My mother was a victim of the sales scam performed by crafty sales people of Prestige Sales. Both sa;es people (male and female) were dressed neatly and told her they were neighbors of hers and pointed to a house across the street from us.

This is an AWFUL business (if you would even call it that). The minute that I got off the phone with these people, the first thing that popped into my head was, "Wow, how the hell did they get all the information from me and how could I be so stupid as to have signed up for that!" It was already pretty obvious to me that this company is completely...

TWX*MAGAZINE ORDER 800-773-3142 NY - Fradulent Credit Card Charges

They hook you in after a legitimate purchace - offering you 3 free magazine subscripions, then a few months later, you are charged for rebilling on the magazines at full price, and it does not end. There have been times when I failed to read the fine print, this may be one of them. The worst part about this whole thing, is that I have found (10) different...

Mags4Cheap - Fraud and scam

I wish I would have looking into this "company" before I "purchased" from them! I ordered a magazine for Valentine's Day, and a week later I got an email that said the publisher received it. Great!, I thought. 12 weeks pass, still no issues, but I thought maybe it was because it wasn't a monthly subscription. Then I needed to change my address, with which I...
