Lone Star Subscriptions, CRS, Success Express Sales, Inc I was scamed twice, but caught the 2nd in time! Aubrey Texas
Ill start with the first scam. On may 20, 2008 a girl (Kristn Powell and once again her trainee) basically invited themselves into my home and made themselves comfortable on my chairs. They talked me into purchasing a subscription for my 2 year old daughter. She too was getting points for a trip. So, i fell for it and purchased the magazine for $38.00. Yep, you guessed it.....n nothing! They were from Texas with CRS/Lone Star Subscriptions) So I figured, well yea I am out $38 bucks to scam artists. I still have my pride and dignity and all they got was $38 (and I know thousands of people got scammed for more) So i thought of it as a lesson learned!!! Well people my story continues.
Today is 08/08/08 and while finishing the dishes another knock at my door. Nick Stuckey (From Success Express Sales - PCCS) started babbling about figuring out what he wnts to be when he grows up. You guys know the usual winning points for a trip bla bla bla. In his babbling, he mentioned he was 20, and usually is the top sales man, however he ran into alot of people like me, that got scammed by the last group. Oh, but dont worry he was not a scam and has all these permits for all sorts of town in Montana. He even offered to buy me dinner. Should have taken the dinner. He even said that the last people had fake reciepts, and what I should look for in the future.
But insted, I bought into his lies and got dooped again.
Ok, so after he left I googled that company and found out they were frauds too. So immediately I contacted my credit card company and I am disputing the charges!!!! I told the CC Company about the situation and lets all hope that this time I win!! And ok really this time, I really learned my lesson!!!!!!
