This company has been calling me and saying I owe them money. I got one package of books and sent them back. They say I owe them for 5 packages! Never heard of them before. What is this about? I am MAD! To to it off they say a Thomas Wagner lives at my address and also owes them money. I would never do business with MBC after this. I do not even like military stuff.

'GOT BOOKS' IS A BIG RIPOFF! AND SHOULD BE CALLED 'GOT MONEY'!! Bob Ticehurst who owns and runs the company, likes to appear as though he is running a non-profit business. He rarely lets people know he is a for profit company! He asks on his website and in his radio ads for people to donate books to his great causes! Bob, a once account and part-time book...

These people keep sending boxes marked free gift. When you open the box there is some cheap toy or something and a reader's digest condensed book. Then a few weeks later you get a bill from them. My husband says, I already paid for my subscription to Reader's Digest, so we look for a number to call. No number given, so we go to rd.com and there is no...

Well, I hate to admit it but I just got scammed! I was already distracted by trying to care for my severely disabled son, and a young man (approx. 20 yrs old) knocks on my door. He said he was a neighbor and pointed in the direction of a house that has sons about his age, whom I've never met. Long story, short..."Philip Fremento" said he was earning a trip...

Subscriber Services said that once you subscribe to them, you can not ever cancel until after five years, no matter what. It is just insane and unfair business practice. I wonder why the Better Business Bureau has not put an end to this yet!!! NEVER EVER EVER EVER ORDER FROM SUBSCRIBER SERVICES INC... THEY ARE PURE EVIL.
