Spinnaker Direct - Matt Kolk - unpaid wages

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!

D2d Consulting - SCAM

Fell for some sob story about a young guy needing "points" to earn a trip or whatever. He said I could write a check but that the company always called before cashing them to make sure it was ok. 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...

National Publishers Exchange - Scam on elderly promising contest entry. Last of three entrants with chance to win ten million dollars

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 am trying to help by unsubscribing to all of the magazines but am not having much luck. I would like to report this unscrupulous human being but have no...

La Familia Magazine Sales - Harrasment

Marquise Glen came to my door 11/29/2010 a little past 8:00 PM. I should have not answered the door, but unfortunately I did.

He tells me I HAVE to buy 600 dollars worth of books and a magazine...

TV Guide Subscription - Scam/Over-priced

We recently thought we renewed our TV guide subscription but we've never gone through their services before. We recently got the renewal from our normal source for a lot cheaper. I would like to request a full refund since the subscription has yet to start. We sent a check for on 9/6/10 and it was cashed on 9/13/10. I've read nothing but scam complaints about this company.

Urban Nation Ent - Scam

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...

Magazine-Agent.com - Renewed without permission

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.

Magazine Subscription - Did not pay for subscription renewal at Golfweek Magazine

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.

Top Sales - NOT A SCAM

I also bought a magazine from Top Sales and couldn't get in touch with them for awhile. But I called a while back and got a return call. The new office manager explained that the office manager before her was not calling customers back or processing the orders so she was the reason no one was getting called or their magazines. She put my order in and gave...
