A girl came to our door selling magazines in order to go on a trip and we helped her out. My roommate and my boyfriend and I all ordered a magazine each (Blender, Camping Life, and Elle, respectively) and only my roommate received his magazine subscription.

US Periodicals Inc. - magazine subscription fraud

I agreed to a renewal of a subscription to Discover Magazine for 4yrs for $96.00 with these people. I wouldn't do the order over the phone so they sent the info by mail and I sent a check. Didn't want to give them a credit card number. They cashed the check but I have never received a magazine. They won't return my calls either.

I got a phone call telling me that I had won a diamond watch and a subscription for several free magazines through the use of my debit/credit card, all I had to do was pay for the delivery of the magazines. Normally I wouldn't even listen to something like this, but I thought it was a good deal, especially because I got to choose the magazines that I would...

Consumer Reports Magazine - Worthless

Save your money and search on the internet for product recommendations. Consumer Reports is a joke. We bought a washer and dryer, Frigidaire, that they recommended and both are total pieces of garbage. Both have been repaired many times and still work marginally at best. We also bought a Schwinn elliptical (a CR best buy) and it lasted less time than a...

Prestige Sales USA - Scammed

I hate to admit this buy I opened the door when I shouldn't have and believed the young man standing in front of me who said he was my neighbors nephew who lived down the road raising money to attend culinary training school in Paris, France at the Cordon Bleu. He said his name was Matt Williams and if I purchased...

I was approached at approximately 7PM by a well-dressed young gentleman, and heard two of his colleagues upstairs in my building. I was presented with a very well-worded, polite sales pitch that used strong emotional appeal to get me to purchase a magazine subscription. I was told that he was training to be a mentor for an inner-city program, and as a part...
