i just gotta say something to all of you, tower of power is not a scam. i worked for them for almost a year and hated when people accused me of trying to scam them! im not a liar or a cheater! all of this ### im reading about you people is what you think is just you being smart so you dont get ripped off. i think its plain stupidity, i mean your getting freaked out by two different company names!? i thought i had heard just about everything, just think for a second, or ask questions before you hand over your money. just to clear this up, pacific coast clearing services (A.K.A. PCCS) that is the office that handles the orders and makes sure you get your mags OK! tower of power is one of MANY companies that deals with the sales of the subscriptions. (which is the best, and if you do decide to buy from any company, buy from TOP) think of them as different teams, if youve been solicitted for mags before im sure they told you about a contest. ITS A REAL CONTEST! just cuz it sounds corney doesnt mean its not real, of course we do make money of the sales we make as well, WE GOTTA EAT RIGHT? im not saying you should trust every solicitor that comes to your door, not all people are good people and if you give em cash they might just try to pocket the order, ive met a few kids like that but they will get fired when they are found out. there are scam crews out there, ive ran into a few of them, i do know tho, that if the receipt says PCCS you can trust that company (and tower of power of corse.) and for the people that called their bank and cancelled theyre check or found the kid/s and got their check back, what makes you think you wouldnt have got your magazine? oh and when they say they want to use their winnings for college whos to say they dont, its slim chances of winning anyway, there is anywhere from 250 to 500 people in the contest. and if you happen to see some mag kids talking to cops, dont just assume theyre bad, soliciting is illegal in some places, ya but dont hate on these kids because theyre tring to do something positive with their lives, try to make a living, or just get by. ill never regret joining TOP its helped me to be a better person in many ways, and was a great learning experience for me. any questions just email me bunny_bunny247@yahoo.com

This company is using these names:

Tower of Power Sales Inc,
Topline Marketing
Pacific Coast Clearing Services Inc, or PCCS

Seems always two young partners traveling from Seattle, and collecting checks and bank account information. One of them is acting as a trainee.

I just had two young males come to my door, and asked to buy magazine subscriptions. I purchased two magazine subscriptions for two guys who were supposed to be struggling for thier college education.

I felt funny when I got their reciept which shows two company names on a one sheet. There are companies use two or more names, but usually those are big corporates. Small company like this using two names? I felt fishy, and checked online right away, then found this company is SCAM.

I was lucky that these guys are still in my apartment and asking other tenants for subscription. I got my check back, and right away I called police to dispatch officers.

~My husband brought magazines back in Nov 2008 for
a 3 yr subscription from this company ~Tower of Power
sales~ We have never received any magazines and the
check has already cleared our bank account!

~ I think it is a shame that this company is allowed to
continue in it's fradulant activity and to have young
children to come to your door with a LIE~ What
deception~

Same thing just happened to me. I was lucky enough to find out they were a scam within 24 hours and called my bank to cancel the check. That kid won't be getting squat from me. Ticked me off royally because the "subscription" was supposed to be for my kid.

I live in Ft Knox, KY. These two girls showed up late one night peddling magazines. It was damn cold and they were on foot so I let them in. Nevermind that soliciting is outlawed on military bases, I figured that they were some fellow serviceman's kids so I decided to buy some crap from them. This was in early december and I haven't received anything and yet my check has already been clear for over 6 weeks. Yeah I think I got hosed and have had zero luck in getting ahold of the company. Be warned, Tower of Power is bunk.
