Publisher's Business Services RIPOFF LIED CHEATED and RIPPED ME OFF Publishers Business Services Miami Florida
I was contacted at my offices and told that my business would be receiving 5 magazines at no cost to me! I was told that the advertisors in these magazines were paying the subscriptions so that there advertisments would get out into the public. They took my address and other information for the business and the magazines started to arrive. Shortly, thereafter, I recieved a bill. I contacted them regarding their offer and asked why I was recieving a bill.
After, giving me the run around and basically playing DUMB, the informed me that I had entered a three year contract that could not be cancelled. I told them to immediately stop sending the magazines, that I didn't want them. Nothing worked. They continued to bill me and threaten to report me to collections if I did not pay the bill. I will be making my last payment this month and supposedly I will continue to recieve these magazines for the next two years. The employees of this company are liars and cheaters.
The falsely trap the consumer into a contract with out right lies. Their tactics are both fraudulent and criminal. I am hoping that legal actions can be taken against this company.

Tammi, after my last posting minutes ago, I went on to the next page and found Beverly from Mississippi. Look up national magazine exchange here, and read her posting. This is what is in store for you, unless you put a stop to it. Both of these "companies" are from Florida. What's up with that? What, is Florida some kind of safe haven for the magazine con industry? Maybe it has something to do with the elderly who retire there. I'm calling up the weatherman and ordering up the mother of all hurricanes. Maybe that will clean out some of this nonsense!

Did you get a fake bill in the mail? Let me go out to the dumpster and select a good "payment" for it. Oh my god, Tammi, I can't believe you paid them. More bad news. You're now on a suckers list. Every fraudulent company in the world will be sending you bills, because they know you will get scared and just pay them. Once these places find a sucker, they take them for everything they can. Then they sell the name to another fraud company so that they can get a piece of your money. If you paid with a credit card, deductions will happen every month, from now on, until it's maxed out. Bank account number? They'll drain it dry. Most people throw the bills out and keep the magazines. Very few people actually pay the bills. The few that do open up an avalanche of fraud. Don't worry, you won't be in business much longer. Once the toner bills, and the copier supply bills, and the office supply bills start coming in, you won't have any time left to run your business anymore. After they drain your company account, you'll get kicked out of your office because you can't pay the rent. Problem solved. End of story. Or, you could do the smart thing and laugh at these fools the next time they call. I always send a bunch of stuff in the return envelope when I get a bill. Lunch scraps. A banana peel. A sardine. That's my "payment". Naturally, you only do this when the envelope is postpaid. I'm so cheap that I won't waste a good stamp. But, I do have a helluva lot of fun with the prepaid envelopes. Imagine when they get that stinky fish in the mail! Holy s**t! Is this a great country we live in, or what? After these "companies" pay a dollar to get my banana peel in the mail, they usually learn pretty quick. Your fun is just starting. Once they have your account number, the fake deductions never stop. You almost need to close the account. Or, else spend days and days calling your bank each month trying to deal with each new round of fraudulent deductions. The lesson here is that fraud ends when your money ends. As long as you're willing to pay, they'll continue to play. Good luck in your next business, Tammi!
