Nakia Magazine - This company is scam and its owner is thief

Run from Nakia Magazine. I have met this lady and spoke with her. She lied a lot and promised to help me with the work. After that she asked to provide the job for me. I paid around $1, 000 for some expanses and after she received my money, she vanished. Couple of weeks later I found out that a lot of people were scammed by this lady and no one got his/her money back. Be careful.

Star Magazine - Missing issues and late delivery

Customer service is horrible. They are rude and uncooperative. I miss issues and have late delivery consistently. Last year they put the magazine in plastic and it arrived on time for several months. Then the plastic cover stopped and my delivery is always late. I called again and they won't put it in plastic anymore and blamed the postal dept for lateness. I am cancelling my subscription to STAR MAGAZINE.

North American Reader's Choice - Scammed into a contract

This company (if you can call it that) called me a year or so ago and asked if I would like to try some free magazines; they said that I would not be obligated to renew after the trial. I get these magazines (which I never really had much time to read) and after a few months start getting renewal notices for them. I think to myself, well if I don't respond...

NSAPAY.com - say I'm delinquent on magazine order I never subscribed to.

NSA-NHL is trying to collect on a delinquent bill for Harper magazine only I never subscribed to Harper magazine. The bill came in the mail today for $11.97 and NSAPAY says I'm suppose to send them the money so they can give it to their "client" Harmper magazine. So, now, not only does Harper need to straighten their records, so does North Shore Agency- NHL.

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.
