Southern Counties Times - SOUTHERN COUNTIES TIMES ARE COWBOYS - DO NOT USE
We were offered an offer 'Too Good To Be True' by someone at Southern Counties Times and guess what... it was!!! We were told that their newspaper had a 200, 000 'paid subscribers' and that our advert along with editorial would appear on the front cover for 2 successive editions. When I received the voucher copy I couldn't quite believe what I saw. 'Rag'...

Lawyers in our firm have been approached by a number of purportedly "leading industry magazines" published in the UK, but they do not actually exist. They contact us telling us we have been named a leading firm in whichever practice area, and that to get our award mentioned we have to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for a profile.

Mr. Kolk is a sociopath, repeatedly hiring free lance writers, agreeing to a price, and then not paying for services rendered. The pieces are then published in his magazine "East Coast Home and Design". He has committed this fraud on a number of writers, not just myself. After he burns through someone, he just finds a new victim and it starts all over again. He should be shut down!

Said that if you sent back the signed document canceling it on the back within 3 days you'd receive your original check back, voided. I realized after he left and...

Saying he lived down the street (naming our Street...

Someone called my 90 year old father on the phone, promising him he was one of three people left to win millions of dollars. They subscribed him to five magazines he will never read. He cannot see.

I had a man approach when I was doing yardwork and he was selling magazines. I live in cul-de-sac so seeing someone walking around in black slacks and a white button down shirt was out of the ordinary. He was friendly and very talkative. He had a good story about selling these magazines to help himself, to create jobs for inner city youth and to help feed...

I found a $38.00 processing on my account today August 31, 2010 for Discover magazine subscription which I did not authorize. When I phoned the company, rep said when I paid $19.95 in September 2008, it automatically triggered a renewal approval in their system. Two years later, huh? Right, sure, try to scam me! I will not renew via Magazine-Agent.com again.

US Periodicals called and offered me a 3-yr. renewal of Golfweek for $97.50. They charged it on my credit card and was paid. Golfweek informs me they never received the money and is not extending my subscription. US Periodicals of Phoenix, AZ sent me a paid receipt. Several phone calls later no one has returned my calls. I have since found many complaints against this company, thus another one from me.
