I recently received a call from Bradley Evans and his supervisor, Melissa, from Southern Magazine Promotions. When I answered the phone, they said that I had been entered into a drawing by one of my credit card companies and that I won a free vacation and three magazines subscriptions. The only thing was that I had to pay for the fourth one. By the end of the phone call, I had signed up for six magazines and was paying $50 a month for 20 months. Of course I didn't do the math and was caught off guard. When I hung up the phone, I had realized that I just signed up for a $1000.00 magazine subscription. I called them back from my caller ID and said that I wanted to cancel the order that I just put in. Melissa told me that I couldn't and she would take a year off. So, I looked up their name on Google and found a link with a letter describing a similar situation listed on your website. I was able to get the whole canceled through the pushiness of my father.
I just wanted to add a complaint to let people know that they are out there again, and preying on anyone they get a hold of. They are fast talkers and will tell anything you want to hear, and then ask for a credit card number. I was gullible to fall for it, so I wanted to try help warn other consumers.
Beware!
These people called me a few days ago and I yes'ed them to death. Bobbie Pritchard was the person who called me and she told me her manager would be calling to confirm that she was pleasant and to give me more info. When the manager called she confirmed everything that Bobbie told me then proceeded to ask what credit card I would like to use for the subscription I was going to pay for. Once I heard this I was like yeah right buddy, and told them I had to think about it then hung up. They are presistant, though. They tried calling me back about 5 times after that. Thank God I avoided that crap!
I just got a call from "Pam", and got the "3-Day 2-Night + 3 mag" deal offered. After we spoke, and I found this post from the "Google God". So I said NO to the supervisor and she called me to confirm the order. After I said NO, she got mad and asked me why did I placed the order with Pam. I told her that I actually googled and found some "bad records" about them after I spoke with Pam. She told me not to place any order in the future, and just hung up...
Thanks to Amy and "Google God", I was able to avoid a possible fraud!
My situation was just like the one on your website, about the free vacation and the 3 mag. subscriptions. My question is, how do you cancel it if you got duped?
