i just had a young man come to my door, and tell me he was selling magazine subscriptions for a chance to win a hawaii trip..he said he could give me 3 magazines for the price of 105.00, i, of course said whooa, way too much, and he said oh well just give me your checks, and you have a waiting period of 5 days to change your mind, and when i said, sorry i don't have any checks on me at this moment, he blew up at me and was saying i wasted his time, and thank god gave me back my info, and stalked out the door. I was a little wary of what this whole thing was about, and googled and found this place, and its a total SCAM! so beware oregon, they're here!

Face To Face Technologies, a for-profit LLC affiliated with American Cash awards, sends solcitors to our homes to sell magazines that will help them win a contest to fund their "trip overseas."

On 6/29/2009, a young solicitor came to my door from FTFT. He insisted that he was "winning the contest" and I just had to let him in to look at the deals he had. I have subsribed to this company before, so I let him in to give his sales speech. He convinced me that i could write a check and cancel my subscription immediately while he still got his "points."
I told him that i had better not because I had no money in my account, and his reply was "you wont buy them from me because I'm black." This statement angered me, since the color of his skin had no relation to my empty checking account. He proceeded with "do you have a boyfriend?" and "will you go out on a date with me?" I told him he was too young and that I was sorry I could not buy magazines. He again proceeded with "You won't go out with me cause I'm black. But you can buy some magazines and still get your money back, so why wont you help me out?"
He continued with this and would not leave my apartment in which I reside alone. I finally just wrote him a check and he left.
Aside to this feeling of being harrassed by a salesperson, I am upset with the FTFT company. I mailed my check stub with the return form and cancellation that same day, with the receipt saying I would recieve my refund in 4-6 weeks. I emailed FTFT immediately after mailing my cancellation and asked them not to cash my check because I did not have the money. With no reply, I emailed the company twice over the next 5 days. Looking over my bank statement, the check had been cashed along with the $25 overdraft fee that I had been trying to avoid from the beginning.
I called FTFT after that and checked to make sure they had my cancellation. Again, they confirmed that they had it and I would receive my refund in 4-6 weeks.

I mailed the cancellation on 6/29/2009, and I have been checking with them every week since 7/30/2009. Supposedly, my refund is on"priority" but I still have not seen a refund and it's 10/16/2009. It's been 14 weeks!!! I was harrassed into making a purchase and then the company wont even return the money when it was cancelled properly!
I have told everyone i know about this company's practices, and to never buy a magazine from a young solicitor at your door.

JUST LIKE THESE OTHER COMMENTS, NICE ENERGETIC GIRL COMMING TO MY DOOR TELLING ME THAT IF I BOUGHT THESE MAGAZINES, IT WOULD HELP WITH HER NEXT YEAR'S COLLEGE TUITION. I ALSO GOT TO PICK TWO CHARITIES A PORTION OF MY MONEY WENT TOO(YEAH RIGHT). I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD GET A CALL TO CHECK MAKE SURE I STILL WANTED THESE MAGAZINES AND MY CHECK WOULD AT LEAST TAKE 2 WEEKS TO CLEAR. FOUR DAYS LATER IT HAD ALREADY WENT THROUGH SO I COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. MAGAZINES????!!! WHERE ARE THEY. SHE TALKED ME INTO GETTING 3 DIFFERENT MAGAZINES AT A WHOPPING $150.00. OF COURSE MY BANK CAN'T HELP BECAUSE IT CLEARED SOONER THAN I EXPECTED. THE BANK TELLER SAID"I'TS ALREADY PAID, THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO." THIS GIRL WAS VERY HARD TO SAY NO TO, PLEASE PEOPLE, JUST SAY NO AND CLOSE THE DOOR QUICK!!!11

I feel very used and $142.00 much poorer because of a scam artist selling magazines. She came to my door on a very bad day; I had been in a terrible car accident that morning. In fact, I ordered a magazine subscription to be sent to a Veteran's Home in Manteno, IL. I was truly skeptical but placed orders for two magazines. The seller wrote down two years' subscriptions without asking me if this was what I wanted to order. Her paperwork did look legal.
I thought about stopping my check on Monday morning but for some reason did not do this. I attempted to telephone FTFT but my call was not answered.
