I got a call a few min ago. I didn't answer and they left a message I then checked them out on the web. I found out about the scam and am now reporting them. Thank you for helping us get these people.
I received this same call today on my cell phone. Said her name was Audry and I won a $1000 shopping spree, etc etc. Now, wouldn't you think they'd either tell you in person, or certified mail or something if you won that? I didn't return her call.
Called my cell phone, but only let it ring once and the caller disconnected before I could answer. My carrier showed that it was coming from Morristown, NJ. As I have family that resides there I called the number back. Female with southern accent asked if I had received a call and then proceeded to ask for my name. I refused to give her my name and then requested they no longer call my phone. She then stated she needed the telephone number that was called, my name AND the state I reside in. I told her all she needed was the telephone number and she kept rambling on so I hung up her.
My daughter ended up getting involved with this company. I did not know about it until the second month of her 'subscription' when this company double charged her account for the monthly payment. This caused her account to go negative, and have 8 overdraft fees. When we called the bank, they said the company if definitely fraud, and to contact them to advise they have to pay the fees. We spoke with Paige, who was very rude, and told us we would have to speak to Cindy the next day. But, Cindy is only available for 6 hours a day... B.S.!!! I called back and was transfered to Jacqueline. She apologized but said that my daughter authorized a double payment, which was complete crap. She then said they would refund the duplicate charge, but that the bank would be responsible for all the overdraft fees when they realize it was an error. We called the bank, and they said MAC would be responsible as they caused the negative balance to begin with. I called Jacqueline back, and she asked why my daughter continued to use her card, and I told her flat out she was within her rights to use her card for funds she thought were available to her. She asked what bank it was, and when I told her Wells Fargo, she said to fax a copy to her so they can dispute it with the bank, because, according to her, they have had numerous issues with Wells Fargo paying back overdraft fees. We did send the fax, along with a nice letter advising they have 14 days to issue payment. If they refused to do so, they need to provide a letter stating why, as we would need to include that with our complaints to the BBB and the MN Attorney General. We received a call the next day stating they were issuing a check as they just don't feel like arguing with the bank. Funny thing... That is exactly what the bank said they would tell us!!! They also stated my daughter could cancel with a $500 fee as she agreed to the terms of cancelation. I asked to see it in writing. She stated they have her on tape verbally agreeing. Verbal agreements are not valid in all states. When I advised her of that fact, she said because they are located in TN, my daughter goes by their laws. Absolutely not true. When this company does business in another state, they have to abide by that states laws. They agreed to cancel the subscription for two monthly payments of $49.99. We told them we will call them when the refund check is received. We have no intentions of paying them the cancelation fee. Our bank advised if they did turn it over to collections to dispute it with the fact that due to the problems they caused in her account, they should be able to waive the two $49.99 a month cancellation fee! I will be posting negative feedback about this company where ever I can. I am writing to the BBB, and the MN Atty. General. I urge anyone who has had issues with them to do the same thing. Get your State Atty. General involved!!! This company needs to be shut down for good!
I too made the same mistake and am paying for it every month. $39.99 every month for 8 magazines a month. I signed up in september and have recieved two or three mags. I also tried to cancel and they told me I made an agreemant and that I couldn't. They told me that I had 30 days to cancel and I tried to. I don't know what to do I can't get them on the phone and this has to stop. I'm afraid if I cancel my checking and they keep trying to bill my acct. that it will mess up my credit.
