Can not cancel the account
In october 2010 a random number withan 866 area code called me. when i answered a friendly man asked if i wanted to be entered into a $1, 000, 000 drawing. I agreed and he said i can recieve a free diamond watch if i subscribe for a couple magazines. that didnt seem like such a bad deal so being the young college student that i am, i went through with it. Three months later i recieve a call from a collection company saying i owe $1336.62. The company charge me with late fees i didnt even know i was responsible for. I tryed to cancel the account and they said i had a finance agreement. I had absolutely no clue i was being charged for 30 payments of $39 when i just wanted a couple magazines. now im stuck having to pay almost $200 for five months. I dont even have $200 for grocerys this month noless $200 to pay for magazines i dont want or need. I cant get any help with this and i must pay $1000 i don t have. If you recieve a phone call from the International Magazine Company, just HANG UP. Dont let them have your debit/credit card number or they will rip you off. You wont wont beable cancel your account.

Keep Calling
This company keeps calling my phone. Its began amusing but now its just plain annoying, Everyday I get a call and when I answer I hear a bunch of people talking and no answers when I say "hello". Today when I answered and said "hello" I hear something about Darryl and his drug territory. This is rediculous. I wish it would stop. Isnt there someway to stop this?

Credit Card Fraud
Late November 2009, I received a phone call regarding a too good to be true Million Dollar Sweepstakes. The representative tells me that it's completely free with no strings attached! Sounding like a good deal, i simply say "Alright, cool, thanks sir!" Afterwards, he offers a subscription for several magazines at a really good price. I agree to it. He than asks me for my credit card number, and i proceed to make a fuss about giving out that info. Suddenly his supervisor gets on the phone to reassure me that it's okay because they work with Visa and have my number already, they just need me to confirm it. After a couple of seconds I give him all my information. For the past couple of months, my bank account has been getting drained, I keep getting phone calls from the company's "partners", and whenever I try to call them, they are mysteriously nowhere to be found! Today they called me, so I finally got to talk to them about cancelling my subscription. Apparently, you can't cancel your own account because they already pre-paid all the magazines. I even told him that I am deploying in 3 weeks and I even had a mailable form to prove it...that didn't work. Curiously, i could hear people in the background on their phone arguing with other dissatisfied customers such as myself. I know this was a bit of a rant, but make sure you don't fall for this scam, but if you do...please call your bank to get a credit card fraud form started, and send any items you receive from them back!!

I can't cancel my account
In June a random number called me from an 866 area code so I answered it. After a man talked to me about being an associate of Visa/Mastercard/Discover card he said that I was entered in a drawing and asked if I was interested in getting some magazines for free. So I was like sure I'll hear what you have to say. So he said his supervisor would call me with more details. Sure enough he called me explaining the deal saying I would actually have to pay for the magazines: $4.16 a week, $53.16 a year. So i said...sure I'll pay for the 18 months that we agreed to and he gave me a "college student discount" so I didnt have to pay the full amount. So not thinking or talking it over with family I gave them my card number and information. But I figured if they knew where i lived and most of my card number already and WERE affiliates of Visa then I shouldn't worry. So...After I noticed a charge for $53.16 on my account within hours I cancelled my card and sent in a complaint to my credit card company to reverse the charges since that wasn't what I agreed to. Now just today IMC calls me and says that I owe them money or else they will send the collection agency and I have to pay $956.88!!! I explained to the man I no longer want the magazines, they charged me for more than I agreed to, and I want the charges taken off my card. He said that's now allowed even though one of his "managers" told me I could cancel at any time. So a warning to all DON'T GIVE IN. You can't cancel, they take your money, and send you nothing. What a headache.
Send me a message if you've gotten anything for the "collecion agency"

repeated payments after paid in full
After having set up a payment plan amounting to about $80 total, supposedly to be divided up over 6 months, International Magazine Company took it all in one payment, and then repeatedly called and tried to contact me to keep paying them. They have now sent me a supposed "collections letter" and are trying to say I owe over $300 for magazines I never even received. They are a TOTAL scam, and should be avoided.

Not receiving what was ordered
I ordered PC Magazine, Wired Magazine, Maxim, Car & Driver, and Mens Fitness on January 8, 2009. I was told to allow 90 days for the magazines to arrive. It has been more than 90 days as it is April 10, 2009 now and I have still not received any of the magazines I ordered. I have received Weight Watchers, Nickleodeon, and Parenting, I have no idea why I received these and can not contact International Magazine Company with the number they sent me with the information package. All I get is a busy signal. The number they sent me is 888-670-8870.

Unauthorized billing
We received a phone call from a lady who said that we owed money to her company. As she went on to describe what was going on I told her I had no idea what she was talking about. I than talked to my boyfriend and he told me that he had talked to her over two years ag and the company had offered him a magazine subscription service. When he realized how much it would cost he called and said he had changed his mind. We never heard another thing from them until Feb of this year. All of a sudden she was calling and saying we owed them over 800.00 dollars. I informed her that I needed to ask my boyfriend before I paid the bill. I talked it over with him and he even tried to talk to her but she told me he kept hanging up on her and that he was plain old rude to her. I talked to her some more and than we agreed to pay the past due balance of two payments of 81.90. She told me we would be receiving our magazines right away. After we did not receive any magazines I called back and talked to some man who told me I was a liar and that I just did not want to pay my bill. So I went to our bank and they reversed the charges. Now I am getting angry phone calls from this woman, she supposedly has no supervisor to talk to and I am again a liar. We are still refusing to pay the company and they keep calling offering us great dvd deals. She is threatening to send us to collections and have lawyers come after us if we do not pay.

money
A guy called me telling me about a $50, 000 sweepstake I was entered into. He was very kind and respectful so when he asked me to put in a good word for him when his supervisor called it was no problem. The supervisor, Mary-Ann Harris, explained to me that I was to receive a daimond watch and three magazines for free and she explained a subscription plan to me. She made sure I wrote all of it down so I would kno what I was to be billed for. $4.62/wk, $19.74/mth for 48 months and billed 12 times in all - the total was to be $79.73. Because I didn't have money in my account at that moment, she said that I would be billed once the funds were available. I just put $100 dollars in my bank account three days ago and today when I went to the ATM i was denied because I only had $20.10 in my account. Those 12 payments that were supposed to made only once a month were all taken at once leaving me, a struggling, teenage college student, helpless. Because I just turned 18, I guess I was a part of their targeted audience. I need to know where to find help!!

Possible Fraud
Magazine company offered me a free deal of magazines but charged anyways, I attempted to change my magazines and inquire about the charges but the phone number provided to me by them was not in service and the phone number under the bank statements was also fake(1800-123-4567). I received letters warning of debt collectors and later received phone calls from a debt collection company called Luebke Baker & Associates telling me I owed them roughly $800 but offered to settle for $200. There are also various consumer complaints about the legitimacy of this company as well.
