      Dating back to 2019, I thought it might be a good idea to invest in High Times as I was in the infancy of thoughts of retirement. Altogether I made three contributions totaling $1188 (see upload document). As time went by, I would occasionally inquire about status on my investments with no response. On April 18, 2022 I got a letter saying that High Times was appointing ********************** ** as its new agency (see upload document). In July 2023 I contacted ** and they informed me that they no longer handle account. I feel Ive been honest, upfront, trusting and patient with these people with zero response. I would appreciate anything you can do to help. Thanking you in advance. Peace stay safe!****** ****** ***************** ************

      OCTOBER 9th, 2018, I PAID $198.00 TO HIGH TIMES HOLDING CORP. FOR SHARES IN THEIR STOCK. AT THE TIME IT WAS JUST AT GROUND LEVEL BUT PROMISED HIGH RETURNS. SINCE THEN, I HAD ACTUALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE INVESTMENT UNTIL THEY STARTED EMAILING ME WITH "HIGH TIMES" PRODUCTS FOR SALE. I'M THINKING "WOW....THEY ARE STILL AROUND AND MAKING MONEY. I HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS WAYS TO CONTACT THEM TO NO AVAIL AND CAN'T SEEM TO GET BACK INTO MY HIGH TIMES ACCOUNT. I AM IN DIRE STRAIGHTS RIGHT NOW AT THE AGE OF 70 AND COULD REALLY USE THAT $198.00 FOR FOOD AND DOCTORS. IT'S NOT VERY MUCH MONEY TO SOME PEOPLE BUT FOR ME IT WOULD BE LIKE GOLD! I HAVE ATTACHED SCREENSHOTS OF MY PROOF OF ENROLLMENT AND OTHER IMAGES OF WHEN THEY STARTED SENDING OUT CIRCULARS. I ALSO NOTICED BY OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT I AM NOT ALONE AND FIND IT SO RUDE OF SUCH A HUGE CORPORATION THAT IS ALL ABOUT PEACE AND ******* TO NOT WANT TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES AMICABLY!!! I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A REFUND OR AT LEAST SOME KIND OF ANSWER OR RECOGNITION. THANK YOU FOR READING. ***** *********

      I signed up for a subscription to High Times magazine for the first time on March 29, 2023. I've been charged a total of 4 times and an additional attempt to charge was 9/1/24. I haven't received a single subscription to this magazine, and all attempts to contact the company have been wrong or disconnected numbers. Emails were also sent to their "support" address, which where returned undeliverable. I'd like a refund check for $119.96.
