this company took my client's debit card number and has charged him 1000.00 for magazines. I have told him not to pay becuase of the fraud involved. This makes me very mad!!!
I want this reported to the bbb and something needs to be done immediately!

This company called me and offered what I thought to be a good deal on some magazines I wanted. Instead I started getting magazines I never ordered, I was getting so many odd magazines, I canceled my bank info and payment. Now they are harrasing me saying I owe them over 800 dollars!! For Magazines???? Everyone you talk to is rude, and they say there is no way to get out of this and they are turning me over to collection. Why can't the government shut down companies like this? I saw so many complaints on this company when I logged on, so I wasn't the only one fooled by them. I have reported them to BBB and will call the police and file a complaint there too.

The people of Lubke-Baker & Assoc. have been harrasing me about collection on a scam deal done by Great American Readers. What I was told was that Lubke-Baker & Assoc. were a firm and had me beleiving that they were going to settle the case with Great American Readers which is a company that sends you magazines for a monthly fee that you have to pay for 2 years. I cancelled within the 14 day grace period but instead of canceling as I had asked the person on the other end of the phone extended the due date of my payment out an extra month. Long story short, I had my credit card cancelled so that the greater american readers wouldn't get any more money from me due to them being a scaming company and now they have this second scaming company Lubke-Baker on me to collect an outstanding debt of over seven hundred dollars and they can settle the case for me for a mear 199.19. Only thing is they lied about when they were going to cash the check, they lied about the amount of the check and from what I have read on the internet if you give them your checking information they will process the same check through your bank over and over for different amounts. This goes on until they get caught. Fortuniately I went to the bank the very next day and closed my checking acount down so they wouldn't get any payment at all. I work to hard for my money to throw it away to scam artist.

They told me I had won a $1000.00 VISA card and all I had to do was order 4 magazines for $1.83 per magazine. Dummy me gave them my card number and they started charging my account $39.90. They did not send me the magazines I wanted, but did infact send me some magazines...that I have absolutely no interest in. I called them to cancel my "subscription" and they told me thay can't cancel until all the payments are made...for 4 years! I told them that's the point of a subscription...cancel the order and they quit sending them. Nope, they can't do that. Regarding the $1, 000.00 "VISA"...well, it's not a visa, it's a certificate to a cheesy website www.selectyourgifts.com that barely has any products. The products they do have are cheap...like a 1998 collector Christmas ornament of some dead singer. Oh boy. Plus, you have to pay shipping that is more than the product is worth...like a no-name workout cd costs 7.95 to be shipped using UPS ground with 7-14 day delivery. Yeah, right! Now I am expecting them to call because I've cut them off at the bank. According to all the people here that have gotten tangled up with this company, I can look forward to them calling me and threatening me and so on. I just wish I would have seen this web site BEFORE I thought having magazines would be a cool thing. HOw is it that people have been getting scammed by this company for years and somehow the company is still in business and taking people's money? How do we shut them down? Put them in jail?

Im an a college student. This company (Great American Readers) called me to tell me I had won 1000 dollar online gift card and would only need to pay $49.99 a month for 60 something magazines. Then, they asked for my card number. After looking up the company online I couldn't find it and only found complaints about it being a fraud. I politely told the man I was talking to that I did not want to give my card number out and he get got very defensive. After not agreeing to give him my number, he hung up on me. Don't fall for this company please.
