After a lot of research I have finally figured out a way to shut these people down the FTC has already closed the doors on several other companies that are involved in the same type of dishonest magazine sales scams. You can read all about it here http://www.ftc.gov/opa/1997/05/magazine.shtm. Please everyone that has been scamed by these people go to FTC.org you can file a complaint under the consumer protection tab it only takes a few minuits and if they hear from enough of us mountain are communications will soon be gone. here is some helpful info they will ask you when filing your complaint address 186 Campbell Dr, Sneedville, TN 37869 phone (423) 733-8022 and companies web site mountainareacommunications.com lets shut them down if they don't exist wew on't have to pay them !
This company is nothing but bad news. They will try to convince u into buying their magazine service will [***] payment information. I highly recommend everyone who still goes on this website to file a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission because what they r doing is in fact illegal. Here is their web site link with a discription of proof that this [***] their trying to pull on u is illegal. http://www.ftc.gov/opa/1997/05/magazine.shtm By doing this the company will not bother any other victim they choose to harass.
I use to work for these people for 2 years. They are the biggest scam ever. I tried to find diff jobs but couldnt so I had to do what I could. They make us work from 8 to 3 sometimes 5. Give us scripts to read and memorize. We would have to "chuckle" every 5 words. If not they would write us up and suspend us. 3 days min. We made min wage. If we sold the mags we would get bonuses. 3 orders = $15 4 = $30 5 = $50 so on so on. But in order for us to make any money at all we had to make 3 orders or what they called "Caps". But in order to get orders the customer would have to provide their card number, ex date and sometimes 3 digits on back. They card had to have at least $60 on it. Couldnt except pre paid cards. If we didnt make any sales they would send us home for the rest of the work day. If we didnt make any sales the next work day they would suspend us for the rest of the week. We were given rebuttals for answering questions or statements like "I dont have a debit card." We would have to say "Well I show you here a a customer with a paid in full account from the past." Or "How did you gt my number?" answer "We work with visa master card amex and discover. They are the ones who provided us with your info so thats how you were selected for your shopping spree." Not in exact words I havent worked there for about a year now so I dont remember every word. We were not allowed to tell anybody over the phone that they could cancel. It was a very stressful place to work. They didnt only have the customers fooled. They also have us employees fooled as well. I am so sorry for anyone Ive called. There was this one lady I remember talking to that was going through cancer battles and didnt really have money to buy her some clothes or anything because of all her med bills. I talked to her for a little bit and then ended the call before I got to the mag part of the script. I felt so bad for her it made me chane my mind about working there so thats when I quit like a month later. If you get a call from them tell them You want on the DNCL "DO NOT CALL LIST" They will make DNCL across your name and info and wont call again.
