SEEDTIME PUBLICATIONS - Trinity Public Relations Fraud! - Sold magazine subscription and it never showed, promised refund but it never came. Phone disconnected and are ignoring emails Rock Hill South Carolina
On June 6, 2007 a young black man selling magazine subscriptions came to the door with an opening line of "Do you believe in second chances..." and gave his story about being down and out and how this job selling magazines is helping him to get back on his feet. I agreed to renew my Outside magazine through him to help him out doing what I thought was a good thing. Turns out I was wrong...$45 lost to greedy Mr. & Mrs. James and Lourdes Davis and Seedtime Publications.
We waited the 120 days that they request to allow for delivery before contacting them over email because the phone was out of service ("updating our network" they say). They said the magazine would arrive in April, 2008 (10 months after our order!) but when May 2008 came around they said it would now be the end of June or early July before we received the magazine. We requested a refund and they said it would be mailed by May 23, 2008. It is now July 2008, over a year later and we don't have the magazine or refund.
It turns out that SEEDTIME PUBLICATIONS (formerly Trinity Public Relations out of North Carolina) has over 40 reports of scams on this website alone, an unsatisfactory record on the Better Business Bureau with many unresolved complaints and numerous other complaints on other websites. I am in the process of contacting the South Carolina Dept. of Consumers affairs and the Better Business Bureau to report them. They have already been banned from North Carolina and I am hoping they get banned from South Carolina. Hopefully people read this and other reports before it is too late. Although this experience will make me a little more cautious, I will not let it ruin my faith in other charities. I won't let them have that satisfaction. Just don't give them any business!
...and if you happen to read this Mr. & Mrs. Davis, I feel sorry that every time you take a look in the mirror you hate what you see looking back at you.
