Complaint Review: Budget Readers' Service

Earlier this month, I was contacted by the Budget Readers' Service to sell me some magazines. I like magazines right? They told me that it would be about $50 4 times a year, for 2 years, for FIVE GREAT MAGAZINES!

MAGAZINES: ISSUES YEARS
*OFFICIAL XBOX MAGAZINE 60 5
*SOUND AND VISION 50 5
*ELECTRONIC GAMING MONTHLY 60 5
*AUTOWEEK 260 5
*MAXIM 60 5

That SOUNDS absolutely great! That comes to a little over $400! Man you just can't go wrong with that! Well, two days ago, I get this letter in the mail.

Dear sir,

YOU WILL PAY $49.95 A MONTH FOR THE FIRST 24 MONTHS AND NOTHING FOR THE REMAINING MONTHS OF SERVICE. THE TOTAL OF YOUR 24 PAYMENTS WILL BE $1,198.80 AUTOMATICALLY BILLED EACH MONTH!

The main problem with that is:

XBOX mag is only $12.95 a year
Sound and Vision is only $12.00 a year
EGM is only $19.97 a year
Autoweek is only $19.50 a year
Maxim is only $12.00 a year

With their wonderful plan, you ONLY PAY $48 A YEAR PER MAGAZINE!

Stay away from this bull. Please spread the word and tell EVERYONE about this crap. Nobody should fall victim to SCUM such as these. My bank has ALREADY been debited for this month. I WILL get it back. Fight these scum.
