I ordered a magazine from a kid going door to door. I decided I did not want it after all and followed the refund steps they provided me. That was 9 months ago. I have called and emailed numerous times to finally be told that this company is going under and basically ignoring people that have not received a refund they requested and/or the product. So why are these people still going door to door?! Why can't they be stopped by the BBB? People are basically getting money stolen from them and it is still happening. How can this be stopped? You would think they would be out of financial trouble now considering they are taking people's money and not producing a product!

I just got scammed this afternoon. And normally I am very good at spotting and avoiding a scam! This girl was good. She was very chatty and friendly and before I knew it I was handing over $51 cash for a gift subscription to "cancer research".

I mailed away my cancellation as soon as she left and from what I've read above, I shouldn't expect a refund. And no doubt the charity subscription was totally bogus.

I learned a hard lesson today and I think from now on I will NEVER answer my door unless I am sure I know the person! I suggest anyone who reads this does the same.

I got swindled by a similar company. Only once have I received what could laughingly be considered a response. I've somehow gotten a second magazine subscription out of it (neither of which is what I asked for), so I find solace in that. I'll also never again sign up with these companies, which makes me sad because I know some legitimate groups use this tactic.

The same thing is happening to me as well. I am going to contact the BBB, FTC, and Good Morning America. Sounds cheesy, that last one, but sometimes they can really get things done. This company is a scam. Period. They need to be put out of business. I have actually placed a stop payment on all checks and any ACH amounts that they might try to draft, then I am closing my accounts. They won't get any money from me...but it's just that I had to pay money to put stop payments on these checks that irks me the most.

Same thing is happening to me. I reported them to the BBB and they have not responded to them either. It is time we put a stop to this scam and I am doing all that I can. Report them so that they can be stopped.

"YEAH right!they had my name and said they had drew my name from Wal-Mart, NOT TRUE! but I called Wal-Mart and cxl my card...first call was just a little after 8 am and 3 more calls followed after that. tHEY WOULD NOT STOP, THEY HAD MY ADDRESS TO WHERE i AM EMPLOYED. from my caller ID, (I am a receptionist) I was able to write down the number they were calling from, [protected]. I advise the owner of the Company, and alerted the IT manager, so that he could call verizon, I have just read that this scam also charges thousands of dollars to your phone...my last 2 calls I did recieve I told these freaks I was calling my local police department. ...NO HARM INTENTED TO ANYONE'...these people, 1 lady and 3 men cal differnt voices, they had a accent, like they from India

The scam continues in California! I was just visited this morning (approximately 10:45 am on 11 Feb 2010) in the 5-Cities area on the Central Coast of California by a young girl named "Sierra" claiming she was meeting "fun & friendly" people and asking about their careers in order to get over the fear of public speaking. She said she was in a contest to meet as many people as possible and the winner with the most points gets a trip of their choice to anywhere in the world. And, she was in 2nd place! She said that my neighbor recommended that she should talk to me because I was nice and friendly.

It wasn't until AFTER talking jovially for 10 - 15 minutes about careers and world travel that she pulled out the "points" card with magazine listings. But first, she asked if I liked karaoke! I had to ask her for the price list. I had to ask her for a card from the company (which was folded in half in a plastic envelope and could have been printed at a local copy shop). There was no information to leave me from the company. There was no picture ID of the seller. When I started questioning her, she became hostile and walked out of my house slamming my door. She yelled at me for wasting 30 minutes of her time. It was slightly scary and very unpleasant.

I immediately went next door to my neighbor to verify the girl's story, which was a LIE. Then I went back home to "do some research." And then I called my local police department to report her.

Oh my gosh, I just got ripped off by one these scammers! They have come to my door in the past and the first time, I didn't answer. The second time, I told her no. This time, the third time, I answered the door by mistake (thought it was my brother) and I ended up feeling bad for the kid so I placed an order! I am kicking myself in the ### as I type this! About 10 minutes after he left, I got the receipt and read it. EVERYTHING HE HAD TOLD ME WAS A LIE! A bold faced lie! I was so pissed, more at myself than anything. I should have known better. I immediately put a stop pay on the check and now I'm worried about identity theft. I'm in the process of closing my checking account and opening a new one! I can't believe this! Does anyone know what will happen with the stop pay?

t4he same for me. canceled same day, and 3 months later the check came out of my acct. needless to say overdrafts etc. funny thing is that there was NOTHING on back of check. no endorsement at all. traced part way and went through BANK OF AMERICA. as far as im concerned bank of america is just as responsible for letting a nonendorsed check go through. i now have to open a new acct as i certainly dont trust that they wont use my routing no and whatever else. im on disability and this is really screwing me up. susan

The only thing you are going to "gain" in continuing to try to get your money back is more lost time. I suggest that everyone file a complaint through the FTC (Federal Trade Commission). The website for consumer complaints is: https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ . Click on the image to the right that says "Complaint Assistant". I just filed one a few weeks ago. I suggest that EVERYONE that has dealt with this company to file one, as well. Hopefully the more people that do so, the more attention this fraud will get. It only takes about 5 minutes to do it, so, please help take a stand!

This is a well known scam, especially around Colorado and other Midwest states. They usually approach you in a parking lot once you come out after shopping. Nice girl perky and so on selling magazines. Those of you posting here think it is gonna get anywhere need to listen up. Call your credit card or bank and dispute the claim. If you paid cash, you could waste your time with a police report. The fact that you are posting your phone number thinking you are going to get a refund is silly. If anything you just gave you phone number for more scammers to call you and try to rip you off.

I purchased two magazines at a cost of $71.00 on April 11, o9. I haven't recieved any magazine yet. Nice young teenage girl was the salesperson. Anyone that knows how to solve this ripoff, please call me at [protected].

Purchased one magazine through FTFT. Never received the magazine I requested-- they substituted for a magazine THEY thought was equivalent (which has nothing to do with the one I originally ordered). I called number on the receipt (which I thankfully still had). I talked to a very nice woman who gave me the information for getting a refund. She said I would need to send proof of payment along with the receipt and that it would take 6-8 weeks to get the refund. I mailed the letter and information that day. Four months later... no refund. I sent another letter... two months later... guess what? No Refund! I am filing a complaint with the FTC... I suggest that everyone do the same.

A sales guy came and i bought four magazines. Afterward, I told him i didn't want the magazines and he said he would cancel them for me that night and call me the next day so i could be sure he did it, and he never called me. I do NOT want these magi zines! You took the money out of my bank account, witch I don't have the money for, and put me in a bad situation. I thought he was an honest guy. The acct. # was 35843 for $247.00. My name is Nicole Love. the magazines were F.F., R. R., Yoga, and O. D. Please give me my money back! You can call me at [protected]. I'd appreciate it if you would call me as soon as possible. Thank you.

I've filed a complaint with the BBB, and hopefully something will come of it. "Marsha Covey" communicated to me that they are sending me a check. I guess I'll find out for sure in a few weeks (or months? or years?)

My wife actually cancelled the next day. They should never have deposited the check, but now will not return our money. Everyone should file a complaint with the BBB in Denver. The more of us the better.

I am having the same problem. However I cancelled the order within 3 days. They were suppose to return my check before cashing it, that was in June. Every phone call I make I am told 1-2 weeks for my refund, now I get voice mail with no possibilty of human contact.

DON'T USE THIS PLACE FOR A FUND RAISER!

Been trying since July to get our money back. I am filing a complaint with the local BBB today. I keep getting excuses but no refund.
