Complaint Review: Rodale Books - Men's Health Magazine

Yesterday I receive 2 Men's Health books in the mail. I can "enjoy" them for 21 days for "free" and at the end of that period I will receive an invoice to pay for the books or I can send them back (at my own cost) at any time. I did NOT give consent for them to send these books to me and I do not want to waste my time and money to ship them back to this terrible company.

Last Christmas (2007) I received Men's Health Magazine from my mother-in-law. I had no plans of renewing because I just don't have time to read all the free magazines I get already. As a result I've thrown away EVERYTHING I've received from them. So there is no chance that I mistakenly opted into this type of thing...

Now I have to waste my own time to report this despicable business practice by Rodale Books and Men's Health Magazine to this site, the BBB, the FTC, the USPS, Consumerist.com, and any other place I can find to make people aware of these scammers.

I want to make this company pay or change their tactics, because this is BS. Please tell me someone has a coordinated effort to give Rodale and Men's Health a wake up call!
