I am very angry with LA Times / Redlands Daily Facts ( I think redlands daily facts is a subsidiary of los angelese times). A few months ago, some kid came knocking on my door asking me to help him take a certain trip by me subscribing to Redlands Daily Facts. I wanted to help him but having been autosubscribed before, I declined. He assured me there would be no autosubscription and since I wanted to help him out, I bought the subscription. A few months down the line, I recieve a mail that says I owe $13.75. I must admit I liked the paper and had actually toyed around with idea of resubscribing, but now am mad. This is some form of extortion, I know newspapers are having a hard time, have they turned to extortion by small print and using innocent kids as their agents. That is the last time I fall for one these newspaper tricks again. Never again am I buying LA times / Redlands Daily Facts. I hope you continue not doing well.

I had some kids come to my door today with the same story, they were dressed in flip flops, ball caps, pjs, they looked completely unprofessional. They were a terrible representation for the company, I would NEVER buy anything from them. If they are going to have kids try and sell their newspaper, they should have them dress professional, and make sure they have GOOD attitudes... They seriously looked like bums, why would I give them my credit card information or cash?!?! get some people who don't make it seem like a scam! They made my husband and I really uncomfortable. Did I mentioned they begged for us to buy? Made us feel guilty and obligated. NOT COOL!
