I got sapped into buying a two year subscription to some magazines for my children for someone to win a trip to somewhere I wish I could be right now. I even ran to the ATM because he could only take cash or check. He told me I would have my magazines in 6-8 weeks. After that time period came and went with no magazines I found the reciept which said that it would take 120 days to get the magazines. I called this company many times with no answer. I left many voice mails with no return call. I called today because it is officially 120 days and guess what!...the phone number was disconnected! I was irate and felt foolish for falling for it so I took off in search of their office. At this point I knew I had been scammed but I just had to be sure. I found their "office" and of course their was no one there. A man that worked in the same building said they had moved 3 months ago and they had taken his money too.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
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!
