Palmetto Marketing AKA Thomas Gonzales We've been had by a fraudulent ripoff business they tricked us by lying Coral Springs Florida
Well, to put it bluntly - I got screwed!!!! The guy said his name was Thomas Gonzales and he was try to earn points to win a trip to Jamaca and $2,000 bucks.
He was Mexican and said he was the only "brown guy" in the contest which I guess made me instantly feel bad for him, I shouldn't have though. He used a fast talking high pressure sales approach. Not only did he talk me into a two year subscription to a magazine that I couldn't afford but latter when I reread the reciet I found out I had payed for 2years but he only wrote 12 issues so he pocket the extra money. Then I remember he said I could cancel any time up to the point when check actually cleared.
We'll that was a lie too, you have three days and that's it, then your f***ed. That's what happened to me, don't let it happen to you. By the way if you see Thomas Gonzales whip his a*s because he's trying to screw you too.
Sincerly,
Waiting for my two year subscription to Cosmo

I recommend you to mention "child abuse" in both letters. This IS the worst child abuse, teaching youngsters to lie, minorities to use the "race card" to cheat people, to put more money to Mr. Pitts' pocket.
(They deliberately use minorities, all are the "only" one, it would be their "first trip" in their lives, etc.)
