Periodicals Periodical Services, Periodicals of Hamilton, Montana Magazine Subscription Scam Hamilton, Montana
This company phoned me the day before Christmas to offer their "service' of providing many magazine subsciptions bundled into one low price. For just a few payments I would be set for up to four years with any subscription I wanted from a list of 100's and free to change subscriptions at any time.
I would pay the bundled rate for a year or so, and the subscriptions would keep coming for up to 48 months! It was like Netflix for magazines....and I won a men's dress watch! Wow!
They called my cell phone while I was at break from work and when I said I needed to get back to it, they said "Just talk to this next guy that calls and verify everything. Your new watch is on it's way!"
So, he verifys everthing: my Magazine Titles, my address, and credit card for automatic payments. I said; "I don't have a pen to write anything down right now so if I cange my mind I'll be able to call you from the reciept you'll be sending, right?" "Oh sure, sure."
I did get something a few days later, but I was told I couldn't cancel the order. I needed to call within three days. That tipped me off to my "spidey senses" and I went to the bank the next day and cancelled that card.
I lost my first "payment" of $49.81.... And they still like to call me 3 months later expecting a different answer as they try to claim I owe them something because my payments since December haven't gone through. I owe them nothing as I've recieved only "ESPN special editions" that I didn't ask for.
