      I've never bought anything from these guys but they call me relentlessly. The last time they called me I asked them to put me on their no call list, and the guy replied "what no call list *****?" So yeah...pretty sure nobody should use these guys as a credible magazine company.

      Has anyone received the watch? There you go it's a scam! The man told me that he would wait while I run and get any type of card to pay him! Now what legitimate company would tell you to do something like that?

      This company is fraudulent and manipulating. They have actually sent me a bill for 238.00 dollars. I cannot believe it, I have not ordered nor received any kind of magazine. And I sure don't owe any kind of bill. This is just unbelievable and I filed a complaint with the BBB.

      11/30/2022 Finished talking to Clearing House staff and was transferred to another agent. I paid $278.72 for three subscriptions. Thinking they were legitimate, I agreed. Did not hear from them until receiving an invoice much later that told me one was for two years and the other two were for four years. I receive one and don't know what for. Never would have agreed to if I had known the terms. REDICULOUS! I want my money back. Can you help me? Thanks for your efforts in advance.**************

      Im writing this for my mother who only ordered what looked like a $25 meal gift card and instead of receiving said gift card she started receiving these magazines out of the blue and theyve been harassing her over the phone and most recently sent her a bill for $131.86 when she never even ordered any magazines to begin with and shes been sending them back each time.

      SUCH UTTER BULL****! After receiving a letter from Clearwater, Florida, stating I was to in, re: "Strike it Rich Sweepstakes". Okay, sure, ... I called & spoke w/Ron (sounded like a robot to me), ... after step 1 - calling in & then step 2 - providing the ID # on the letter, ... Ron was all warm & fuzzy about everything re: the sweepstakes. Then Ron tried to sell me on some magazine subscriptions at a bargain rate. I told him, no thank you, ... I was not interested - several times. Then Ron transferred me to another person re: a special deal. Mike - who had a major accent and sounded like he was calling from a call center (very noisy background). I told Mike I was not interested in making any purchase - after a few moments Mike hung up on me. I then called Ron (?) back and stated that the person whom he transferred me to hung up, ... and after a few moments the went dead! Bye Bye Ron! MAJOR BULL **** SCAM, I'm sure. No - I don't want magazines nor do I want that fancy watch with the diamond at the Noon hour that Ron was talking about. I ended up calling another number loisted and opting out of any BULL **** future such mailings. How they got my name & work address to begin with is a mystery. Seriously, SCAM for sure .... National Magazine Exchange my ***!

      I just received a letter in the mail stating i could win a CASH prize. When i call the number it ask for me to purchase a magazine subscription. However i did not give my credit card number. If this is legit then don't ask for my credit card or any money period. This is just like publishers clearance I've been a member for over 10 years and got nothing in return, its all scams!

      Dear ***************,The National Magazine Exchange has been sponsoring sweepstakes for over thirty years as a way to promote our consumer subscription service offerings. The information mailed to our recipients merely welcomes them to telephone us to enter the sweepstakes. The mailer contains the complete sweepstakes rules, including instructions on how to enter, the date of the drawing, the odds of winning, all eligibility restrictions, and the statements that there is no purchase or payment necessary to enter or to win, and that a purchase would not improve the chances of winning. After completion of the entry our callers are offered discounted magazine services as well as various products to accept, if elected. We can assure you we are in fact legitimate and just concluded our most recent drawing.Best Regards,Quality Manager National Magazine Exchange
