Complaint Review: NSS Magazine

I recently answered a survey on the internet promising that once I did, I would receive a free gift. Well, I choose to receive 3 FREE months of TV Guide. I have been receiving my TV guide for free when all of a sudden, I look at my Visa Check card statement on 1/24/02 and I see a charge there for $47 that I did not initiate nor approve.

The name of the company that submitted the charges was NSS Magazine. I immediately called them up and asked what the charges were for. The informed me it was for a one years subscription to TV Guide. I explained to them that the TV Guide I was receiving was for free for three months and that was it. They informed me that it said (probably in very small letters that I did not even read) that I would be charged for a one year subscription at the end of my three months if I didn't call and cancel.

Well, my friends, this is Bull-SH*T. If I didn't review my account when I did, I would have had bounced checks etc. Who is going to pay that? When you are asked to put in your credit number for a free gift... DON'T DO IT! I learned my lesson. I will also be reporting this magazine to the Better Business Bureau. Below is the company's name and full address for those of you who need to know.

STOP! ..before you think about using the Better Business Bureau (BBB)... click here to see how other consumers were victimized by the BBB's false or misleading information. Don't be fooled! When there are thousands of complaints and other investigations underway by authorities, the BBB has no choice but to finally give an UNsatisfactory rating to a BBB member business that is paying the BBB big membership fees every year. When a business is reported that is NOT a BBB member, BBB files WILL more likely show an UNsatisfactory rating, then reportedly shake down that company to become a member of the BBB. One positive thing about the BBB is, either way, if a business has an unsatisfactory rating with the BBB, you can be sure, the business is bad. But what about all those BBB member businesses that had complaints filed against them? Consumers never get to hear about them. What about the BBB advertising to the public? Is this a false and misleading perception they are giving about consumer confidence when dealing with a business?
