Midwest Circulation LLC - Did not receive order

A young man came to my door on March 20, 2010, claiming that they were selling magazines door to door for school to earn a trip overseas, I am so upset now I dont even remember where he was claiming to go. I bought $194 worth of magazines because I felt bad for him. That and he sold a good pitch but when it came down to it, they were really very expensive...

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...

Reader's Source -Magazine - Deceptive Practices

They continue to call my house, work and cell phones and the next thing I know they have me signed up for magazines and they won't discontinue my service either. I already have magazines coming to me from another service. I am ready to contact my credit card company and change my card number.

Dawsons Pink Pages - Directories not printed &/or delivered

For >20 years now my business has advertised in Dawsons Pink Pages. For all that time I've asked every single customer of mine where they found our telephone number. So I've built up an incredibly accurate set of data showing where our work comes from. I saw that I wasn't receiving calls from about 40% of the suburbs I was paying for, in & around...

Phoenix Publications & Advertising - Not Friendly

I have attempted to advertise with this company, but Kathy Jacobs is apparently plays favorites. I have clients in over 4 states. I would rather spend my money with my relationship with ValPak than have to deal with a person with such a bad attitude.

Prestige Sales USA - magazine scam

I also was scammed by someone knocking on my door. Sold me a magazine subscription that was suppose to be delivered to someone in the armed forces in Iraq. Charged me extra to have the subscription sent overseas. I received the subscription at my address instead. Tried calling business but said I could stop the magazine but I would not get any refund.

Urban Development Solutions sponsors young black people to go door to door to sell magazines in predominantly white middle class neighborhoods in order to "help inner city kids".

Urban Development Solutions - Magazine Sales Scams

After researching this group, I found that they were recruiting people out of our shelter to perpetuate their scam. If you have been scammed by them, I have a phone number that should work for your contact. The gentleman who claimed to be the owner is Rodney Rankins was quite a pleasant person. But I am very concerned that he left our shelter with three...

True Vision, Inc. - never received magazines

I purchased 2 magazine subscriptions from a young man named Marshall 11 months ago (July 12, 2008) from True Vision, Inc. The check was cashed and to date I have received no magazines. I have tried to call multiple times and usually get a "mailbox full" message. On two occasions I have been able to leave a message however, no one has ever called me back. I have also attempted to fax them and got a "no longer in service" message.
