Yes, that is correct, it is from United Readers Service Inc of Lakewood, OH. Yes, they make it sound like a "wonderful deal" - they scammed me into signing up too. The magazine selections are lame; and I don't even have time to read them.
I'm receiving a monthly bill of $47.40 (yes, that is $568.80). How ridiculous! They are really smooth when they initially call you, telling you what a great deal you are getting, and how much money you will save. But once you say sure, yes, saving money sounds good, you are in for it. Then, when you realize what a scam it all is, and you try to cancel, they send you threatening and guilt ridden letters, and start harrassing you via phone. (I have at times received calls from them 6+ times a day. That is no exageration, and they will call late into the evening. They are rude, demanding, and will not let you cancel. I am trying to figure out the best way to get this harrassment to stop, and if I never see another magazine as long as I live, I will be so happy.
I cannot say enough to warn you against giving this company ANY of your personal information. I have cancelled the bank/credit card that I gave them intitally (wow, was that stupid of me!), so now all they can do is harrass me via the phone and mail. I am so disgusted. This is like trying to break it off with a serial stalker.
Yeah this company called me as well and finally got tired of them calling so paid my last lump sum of over like 268 dollars at one time. But yet I just got another call like a month later. Biggest rip off ever and when I asked to be taking off the list they wouldn't. Said I was in a verbal contract for the full four yrs( about a yr in). Bull**** is what I say. I'm done with them I hope but don't fall into the tricky words. If nothing else everyone I talked to usually was at least nice, even if they were taking your money.
this number is for a company called united readers...if you signed up for a magazine subscribtion..they are calling to collect money. i've tried to cancel my subscription, but they don't let you. it's very annoying.
