i recently fell prey to this company. while enjoying family time we recieved a knock on our door. in walks donnie b. he gives us a story about having to go door to door for his communications class and he needs sponsers. after a ten min. story and exposure to some of the worst breath i have ever been around...he asks us to pick out a magazine and write a check for $48. We did and the next day it was deposited. even though he said he would wait 3 days just in case we wanted to cancel. after sending in the cancellation slip on time...and having the check overdraft my account...i called for a week straight. no answer and voice mailbox was always full. so to make this long story a little shorter: they redeposited my check a week later and charged 30 more dollars. i finally recieved a call from the owner saying they aren't going to honor my cancellation and they are not going to give me a refund.
I was told that the check would be 2 weeks before that would take it out of my account. But thats not what the paper work said . So please send my check back to me. I am inclosing my address.

We were approached by Tim Blagburn on October 24th, 2008 claiming he needs sponsors to go to England and showed us a paper full of magazines we could buy in order for him to get points. My husband was looking to subscribe to Mens Health anyway and they were offering 104 issues for $54.00 which was a great deal, seemed a little to good to be true but we tried it anyway for a good cause. Well after 6-8 weeks nothing arrived so we emailed them and got a rude email back that said " Your receipt cleary states it may take up to 120 days, so we waited and waited 148 days later no magazines a disconnected phone line and the email address doesn't work. I called the better business bureau and couldn't do anything because they bbb didn't sponsor them or something. Please stay away. I went on google and say pictures of their "Crew" partying alot I guess thats what their doing with everyone's hard earned money.
We live in Jasper Ga. A nice looking clean cut disabled vet came to our door selling magazines. He was very friendly and we bought a subscription from him for Readers Digest. I still have my receipt for $48.00 with his name and Dave and Tracy Fussell's name on it. This was on Dec 13 2008. I waited awhile and emailed them they assured me I would start receiving my books soon. This is March it doesn't take that long to get a subscription started so I tried emailing them again this morning. NO LUCK. So I guess I am another sucker. The guy claimed he had been wounded and had a big scar on his leg. He was walking and we never saw a vehichle anywhere. We gave him a glass of coke and he kept staying and talking. Well if I was these magazine companies I would be madder than hell because they are going to get a bad name too. These people don't realize they are going to have to answer to a higher power in the end for cheating lying and stealing. I will NEVER let anyone else in my door selling anything. It is a pity that no one who could do anything about it will.
As soon as I opened my door this guy opened with a whole speech that he seemed to have practiced many times. He was a funny guy but in the end turned out to be a con artist. He was selling magazines for "points" and I decided to help him out and order a cheap magazine. Right after he left though I decided that I couldn't really afford the magazine so I shipped in the cancel sheet right away. 7 weeks later I'm now checking up on this stuff after not receiving my money back which should have only taken 4-6 weeks. I tried calling the number on the sheet only to find it disconnected. Veritas Communications or anyone selling magazines for "points" to go on a trip is a SCAM SCAM SCAM.
They conned me into buying their magazines also at Purdue University when I was a student there...only the guy brought a little kid with him to the door saying that he was helping the kid work on his communication skills. Pretty convincing story which led to the false sale of magazines. As soon as they left I felt that I had screwed up. I called the number on the receipt and had them change my address from school to my home in Michigan and everything seemed pretty normal. I never took it any further and like everyone else I got no magazines.
THIS IS WHAT YOU DO
File complaints with your state consumer affairs office and the state on your receipt!
File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau – www.bbb.org
Call your local police department (there’s not much they can do but make them aware if you get a good investigator they will request your story!)
And finally call your local reporters (and the local reporters of the city and state on your receipt). I’m also emailing CNN. I don’t know if this will work but if they get enough complaints then they should do something.
Also call the magazine company ask them if they received your order (I bet not) let them know what you are doing. The magazine I ordered is now going to be sent to me from the magazine company (very nice of them).
The more complaints the more accomplished!
