I never thought I would be taken by Palmetto Marketing, since I used to live on Wiles Rd 1/2 mile from their office when I was in Coral Springs,FL Both times in VA when their reps came to our house, the reps claimed they were students from the "local" high school. I had my doubts to that as I had to remind the fellow what the name of "his" school was. My wife ordered 2 magazines at higher than normal subscription rates. We never received either magazine. The second visit was a " pretend to be perky cheerleader" from the "local high school" I knew she wasn't, because I'd been to football games & had not seen her before. Also she didn't seem to know the name of the school either. The "local" high school is less than a mile away & everyone knows the name & all about it, but she didn't. I'm sure they are taught to come on to people in that way. I did not buy from her & told her to get lost & reminded her that our development is posted "No Soliciting" These people never seem to understand those signs either.

Excuse me.. I used to work for this company and I know you are lying cuase for one, We dont even work on sunday and two we arent encouraged to say we are from any high school or college, so therefore it is the sales agents wrong doing and not Palmetto Marketing and third, If you had read the fine print before you signed.. then you would have saved some money...I think its said that people have to wine over 30 to 50 dollars when these people that sale you a magazine are just trying to make money like everyone else. You people dont realize how much of a hassle it can be all day long putting up people like your self.
