      This is a scam. They signed me up for a subscription without my consent.

      Started receiving ** magazines recently - I HATE **, why would I order their crummy magazine?! I contacted ** regarding the matter and they pointed me to National Magazine Exchange as a third party vendor that signed me up. I asked for their information and they gave me the website and number listed in the contact information. I contacted this company and was placed on hold for 45 minutes and NO ONE ANSWERED. Now i'm leaving this review cause this is ridiculous! Get this shut down, seriously!

      I am being scammed with a magazine subscription to my employer. I tried contacting the magazine directly and they told me they cannot help me and I need to contact this company directly. I looked up this company and see SEVERAL complaints about the company scamming people. I will be complaining to my states consumer protection agency.

      They signed me up for a magazine subscription that I did not ask for. I have never heard of this company until I called the GQ magazine to find out why they were sending me magazines. Such a fraudulent business

      I read all of your reviews and I dont know if its a scam or not. I received the letter 2 days ago and called. The guy was super nice. Well first I asked him, how did I get entered in this Sweepstakes? He said you were entered because of you using one of your credit cards. Then he asked me which credit card did I like best ***** Mastercard, or Discover. I told him I preferred Mastercard right now, but usually ***** Then he said, I want you to know you are already entered and theres no purchase required . Then he said for you calling us back, you are entitled to a nice diamond quartz watch, you can choose men or womans . I told him I dont wear watches cuz I play pool, but you can send me a mens and Ill give it to my son. He said ok. He asked me if I won which would I choose a lump sum of ********** or ****** a year for the next 30 years. I told him I was 70 and ****** a year is not an option, I wont be alive 30 more years.So I chose the **********. Then he asked me if I won what would I do with the money? I told him I have 4 adult children and 1 of them needs some assistance cuz hes kind of stuck. I love my children and I dont like seeing them struggle. So after my kids are set, I might update my living situation and buy a new trailer or a small house. Otherwise help more unfortunate people. He told me he liked my responses to help family. I told him thats all I have, Im single and I like it. He said now as part of this Sweepstakes you can get 3 different magazines a week for **** and he read me a list of the magazines. I told him maybe, **** and Home and garden. Then I said you know I am a very busy woman and 3 mags a week would just pile up and I dont have the room. He said ok you dont have to order. I said thank you. He said ** going to switch you over to whoever so he can take the final notes. The next guy asked me if I was sure I didnt want any magazines. Yes Im sure. He asked me for my address so he could confirm it and he said good luck ******

      I got my first letter and called gave them authorization number and verified my address and then they would not leave me alone about purchasing a magazine subscription and they would not take my no for no so I finally hung up. Now just received another letter saying second notice. It says no purchase necessary and all you have to do is give authorization number and confirm your address but thats a lie because I did that but because I didnt purchase anything I obviously wasnt entered in the sweepstakes other wise they wouldnt be sending me a second notice. Scam!! Shame on this company for trying to trick people out of there hard earned money

      I'm so glad I did my research on the letter I just received in mail same as most ya'll! No watch but. It would be a blessing for a single mother that's really struggling right now. I'm no church going gal by no means for sure. But I do believe in the lord above and ya'll scammer will have your judgment day one day and not counting karma. If you got kids just think if your karma that's dew to you but karma decides the best way to hurt you ends up going to them in some way. Trust me karma is a mfer. Some People are really having it hard out here just trying to make another day. My love and heart got out to the ones that has been scammed already. I've been to the homeless bottom before even so I understand hard times. Not so long ago but God bless all ya'lls souls. I had to say my peace.
