Reviews and Complaints

I left cable tv because I was sick of all the commercials and a few in particular... Rhat [censored] pillow guy... My pillow. That guy was on every commercial break and now he's on your broadcast. That's why I left fox news 1/3 of their air time is commercials... Its all about $ greed. And your headed the same direction. Popularity gone to your head... Please don't run off viewers like myself and others because of all the commercials especially ones like my pillow... People are sick to death of this guy and we will leave just like we did fox news when we found newsmax. Be careful greed is destroying everything

Too many Joe Namath annoying commercials. Won't listen/watch until he is minimized or gone. Thank you for your coverage otherwise. Newsmax is on my daily watch agenda, appreciate all except Gorca.

I love newsmax more than fox one america its damn awesome and not same ol same ol donald is wonderful oence should be a sait type crap but... It has a very minor flaw that my 72 year old mind explodes over"this is newsmax..."over and over and ove again during breaks.Come on guys do you know how f — irritating that is? Maybe you brush it off as minor bs but im very close to watching some other news channel and advertisers if it doesnt stop. Just dead air would be ok. But please kill that loop its irritating as I am right now... Get it? Thanks... Your biggest fan

Email flooded with ads the will not stop when unsubscribed several times a week. When checking the unsubscribe box to see if the unsubscribe notification went through a window opens stating the unsubscribe notice is not been in the system more than 10 days. Ive been unsubscribing for 10 weeks 100's of times. How can I stop these junk mail on a mac?

there is no unsubscribing from news.newsmax.com I get several emails a day from Newsmax Ive tried to unsubscribe 100 x no luck I tried to block newsmax from emails ot gets trough time after time

I am getting Spam three or four times a day. The email addresses don't seem legit. Company addresses in the emails always are for PO boxes.

You can unsubscribe to one email ... See link below ... But you can stop news.Newsmax.com from sending more spam. The link below is a png file with an imbedded link that goes to news.newsmax.com. All the spam uses links imbedded png links. They all go to News Max and it seems impossible to filter or block the emails too since they use the png file as a way to hide the link from filter tools.

Getting spam emails from Newsmax after months and months of unsubscribing using their unsubscribe links.

Newsmax magazine charged me under an automatic renewal in which I never authorized.
I was just notified by my credit card company (Chase) that I had a charge of $39.95 for nmx newsmax magazine. I did not want to renew nor do I accept this charge. I am notifying our credit card company immediately. Please credit my account asap. I am expecting an answer asap.

Very unethical news service. Their news are super crazy and full of anger and hate! When I wanted to comment an article and expressed my opinion they deleted it because I had an opposite opinion. My friend recommended this Newsmax website and told that it was very informative and etc. Well, if you are full of hate then this site is exactly for you.

On May 22nd I made a contact with Newsmax via their rep named Joseph Fuentes.

I wanted to advertise on their newsletter, after some negotiation I agreed to drop $1k (plus processing fees) to try their service that would run on 30th May 2015

Joseph convinced me to try them by telling me which offer works well for their audience, so i have this offer that i think will work well for their demographic. Joseph also gave the expected number of opens and clicks after i sent him my creative. He also said "I also wanted to let you know that if the send doesn’t do well that I’ll work to get you something extra done" that being said convinced me to gave my credit card info along with the Insertion Order.

After the mailing I noticed that the clicks were coming in really slow, i been using solo ads services from many providers and brokers so i know when something is not normal, so i contacted him but that time he said he as out of town, he was travelling and said he will check it when he returned.

So after the returning date i got back with him and that time the clicks completely dried out and i got only 129 unique clicks which is far from the expectation he suggested before i ordered this.

Now I know there is NO guarantee number of clicks but I have worked with many media/providers and when something wrong or not normal they will make amend or resent the ad.

When I asked about the delivery proof he went offline and until now he never replied my last request to give me screenshot of delivery proof, i wanna see how many email sent and opened because for 100K mailing list is not normal even for the worst creative.

So I feel like being robbed and this is the worst experience for me so far in buying media, Newsmax I thought was a good company but his rep who gave me HIGH expectation and UNDER delivery really leave bad taste on my mouth.

Now he has promised that if something went wrong he will work something, he did offer me 30% discount on other mailing on their other list (health list) for my other offer... I mean seriously? How can i trust to pay more with my first transaction went that bad?

Something not right, with other providers they will simply mail again and make sure i got normal clicks without me paying extra charges, this is a serivce based business and they treat customer like crap. Remember how he ignored me after i asked for some delivery proof. He was only nice and very responsive before i put my money down.

I can not tolerate this bad service and will let others know about Newsmax problem.

I include the screenshot of the chats with the rep on this file.

Wow from all the comments sure looks like it's a scam site! Well what do you expect from conservatives, they don't comprehend the meaning of the word honesty. They try to steal elections, what makes you think they wouldn't steal from their followers. The people who follow them are by their very nature the most impressionable among us. That's who the conservative party targets, those easily bought and sold. If their fear mongering messages were enough to get one to subscribe in any fashion, me thinks they deserve each other!

You can always spot a site owned by the conservative party; No comments allowed. Control freaks!

I was just searching google for a project for one of my classes when a window popped up out of nowhere: "Romney vs. Obama. Urgent National Poll". Since I've heard of the "polls" being talked about in the news, and I do plan to vote in a few days, I decided to answer the poll's questions. When done, I waited for the confirmation email" to "confirm my votes". It never came. I thought that was kind of odd.

Well, it made complete sense why when I googled "Newsmax". It is "conservative" website. I guess they don't like my answers, and therefore, refuse to count it. (I've never heard of Newsmax before this. I thought I'm participating in a random national poll. oh well.)

I ordered a free book from Newsmax, by doing so they trick me into giving them my credit card number. Now I get a credit card bill for $ 59.00 for a subscription to some kind of Franklin Report, the I never subscribe. I did not order it. I do not want it. I called to cancel and asked for refund but was put on hold for 20 minutes and gave up on 10/16/2012. I emailed the same day for cancellation and refund by get no reply to date.

Months after unsubscription request they still send me news and 3rd party ads! It is a part of Tea party/Jewish lobbiest business. Nowadays all they publish is how Arabs hate US and Israel and want to destroy! There news a day is too much of a hate publishing, it sounds more like brainwashing of American citizens. Almost after every news to continue reading you end up some sort of ex cia agent Gen. Hayden newsmax news and asked to pay for subscription to be able to read any further!

NewsMax Store or NMX! I purchased a book from them which I never received. I tried to contact them but without any result. If they can’t send me a book why they didn’t tell it to me. They must return money for the things they never sent. I am very upset.

I decided when getting two or three emails a day. Offering per tinent information for only $1.00 that I no longer wanted anything to do with this company and followed the outlined procedure to unsubscribe a week and a dozen emails later led me to this point.

My requests have been ignored though I've been told processing will take 24-48 hours.

I feel harassed.

Newsmax magazine charged me under an automatic renewal in which I never authorized. I advised them via their website but never got an acknowledgement. A dispute also went to my credit card company, but newsmax claimed that they have no record of cancelling. So I put in another dispute to the credit card company. It still has not been resolved.

I made the mistake of giving credit card information to read Meltdown on Mainstreet. There were some publications I could refuse within 90 days. I did refuse...to no avail. Repeated requests by phone and email have not resulted in me extricating myself from this company. I plan on turning in a grievance complaint through my state's Attorney General's Office. More people should file official complaints about Newsmax.com. They are fraudulent!

Unauthorized charge on Discover card, supposedly by my father via the Internet: 1. My father does not have a Discover card; although the account is in his name, my mother has sole possession of the card which she uses for very specific purchases. 2. My father does not know how to order over the Internet. 3. This upsets me the most: when I called, they readily agreed to refund the charges but asked that we please not notify the credit card company! I told them that I felt compelled to notify Discover and they warned that it would take longer to refund the charge and the card number might have to be changed. Whereas, they could just refund the charge and "put a freeze" on any further use of that credit card number. I'd like to know where/how they got the number to begin with! They can't answer that...

The below email to Newsmax outlines the issue, what I expect from them in to remedy the situation and the action I will take if they do not respond. Fortunately the State of Michigan has an Attorney General's office that takes an active interest in such complaints.
___________
On July 10, 2011 I accepted a trial offer (Order ID # ____; Customer ID #_____) that included the following:

-trail subscription to Newsmax
-trial 3-month subscription to The Dividend Machine
-trial 2-month subscription to Financial Intelligence Report
-copy of the book Money Mischief for $4.95

Sometime after I placed this order I received a mailing indicating that within 6 to 8 weeks of the order I would receive my first issue of the trial subscriptions.

I have yet to receive a trial copy of The Dividend Machine. I received, last week, a first copy of the Financial Intelligence Report. Much to my distress I also discovered I have been charged $99.00 for the Financial Intelligence Report. This is supposed to be a trial subscription yet my credit card account was charged the $99.00 nearly one week before I received the first copy of the supposed trial offer.

Documentation I received from Newsmax stated "A month before your trial subscription will expire we'll kindly send you a renewal notice making you aware that your subscription will renew automatically. Of course, if you decide you do not wish to continue your subscription, simply write "cancel" on the renewal notice and mail back."

No trial subscription has yet started (other than Newsmax magazine itself for which I have received two copies), I have received no such renewal notices that would offer me the opportunity to respond as you described in your mailings.

This leads me to believe that Newsmax's offer is nothing more than a fraudulent scam to induce individuals into subscriptions that they ultimately may not desire to maintain.

In order to remedy this belief I expect the following:

1. The $99.00 charge to my credit card is to be credited back. The trial subscription to both the Financial Intelligence Report
and the The Dividend Machine are to be cancelled and there are to be no further charges to my credit card for these publications.
2. I receive no further issues of Newsmax nor any further email notices. My credit card is not to be charged for any subscription amount.
3. I will return the copy of "Money Mischief, for which I paid $4.95. I should note that this book is available at Amazon for $7.98 and eBay for $11.00 and there is a free download also available on the internet. I will also return my two copies of Newsmax and the first copy of the Financial Intelligence Report that I received last week.

I am deeply disappointed and angered by such a scam offered by what is alleged to be a reliable and respected conservative news source.

Failure to accept this offer or respond, in any way to this email, will result in my turning this matter over to the Attorney General's office for the State of Michigan

Regretfully,
