North Atlantic Magazine American Reading Club SCAM/ rip me off Cumming, Georgia
Back in August this magazine company called wanting me to subscribe. I said why not, so I did. Weeks go by and I still havent got one magazine. So i sent them the paper i got from them saying to check the box if i didnt want to recieve magazines any more so i did and sent it back to them. Three or four days later I got the letter back saying the address was unknown. I called them asking if they can please cancel my account, they said no you cant. Earlier in the month I had sent them $100 because they had threatened to send out a warrent for my arrest. Then I started to do some research on them and found out they dont have a website, and that I wasnt the only one complaining about them. I also called them back and asked if they had a website and they said no and that they are a collection.. but when they leave a message they always say this is so and so from NAMC ( North Atlantic Magazine Corporation). All i want is my account cancled and for them to stop bothering me!!

These people also ripped me off.When I cancelled they told me that It would reflect on my credit cause they were going to report me to a credit agency.When I told the person they would have to call back in a few that I was driving I never heard back from them.But I would still like to have the money they took but o well.

I hope that this transaction of 100 dollars you made was through your bank so that you can get your money back. No company can send you to jail or send the police after you for something like this, only people who are scamming someone, like this company is, would threaten someone with police force. In fact it may be against the law for them to be doing something like this to you (Threatening people with police action).
I would consider filing with a small claims court, if they do not offer to give you your money back and immediately reporting them to the BBB. They scammed me when I was just eighteen years old, but I had my husband to guide me away from them, and to get our money back. I hate that there are evil people in the world like this and I hope that you take every action available to you in order to get your money back.
They are scam artists and it may be wise for you to also cancel your credit card/debit card after you get your money back because chances are that they will keep those sorts of things on file. Also for future reference and I'm not saying that you did this, but if a company requests that you send money through Western Union, Money Gram, etc. Please refrain from complying. Sending any sort of currency through those means is a guaranteed way of being caught up in a scam, with no way to get that money back. I wish you well on getting your things back and if they continue to bother you, threaten them with a lawsuit for harassment, they have no right to be hounding people, and threatening them like they do.
