So I had a african american young man, very well dressed and mannered rip me off! This man had plenty of good stories to tell and I was glad to be able to help him but unfortunatey HE was a sneak and STOLE my money! People need to watch out for these supposable good men that are really creeps. Thanks for not selling me my magazine! Never recieved, cashed my check and never saw the magazine!

WOW-- I don’t know how these people sleep at night! They lied and scammed me and now they are threatening to take me to court. First they said I could not cancel but the guy who claimed to be the GM said he would lower my monthly fee. What did he do--HE RAISED IT! He placated me with his personal extension and promised to help me if I had problems. As it turns out he is NOT the GM and the extension does not exist. I can’t believe I fell for it and now the legal department is pursuing me! What a nightmare! Don't make the same mistake I did and steer very clear of these crooks.

I was called by the Family Readers Club back in February of this year, and the women with whom I spoke was wonderful.They lured me in by saying that Bank of America (my bank) had entered me in to a million dollar sweepstakes. She also offered me 1, 000 dollars worth of ten dollar coupons for signing up; I figured that this was worth it in itself. When I asked her what I needed to do if I ever wanted to cancel I was asked, " why would you want to do that?" I stated that these were tough times, and that I didn't know what would happen in the future. She then stated that I would have to call the toll free number the cancel; she never gave me a certain amount of days in which to cancel by.

When my husband returned home a half-hour later, I told him what I had done. We both agreed that it was pretty stupid and that I should call back and cancel. It was no more than an hour after the time of purchase that I called back; I had to leave a message. So I gave her my land line number to return my phone call, and a message stating that I wanted to cancel.

She called me back about three hours later. When I explained that my husband and I discussed the purchase and decided that we needed to cancel she told me that this was fine. She asked me to give them five business days to process my request and that my account would not be charged.

April 2nd the amount of 39.95 was debited from my account; I called once again, and once again had to leave a message. This time I left my cellular phone number with them (I work out of town during the week), and told them that I had already canceled please contact me so we can resolve the issue. No one ever called me back.

Three weeks later we got more magazines in, and another statement for billing; I called again, and told them that someone needed to call me back or I was going to contact the BBB. Again, no one ever called me back.

Two weeks ago, I received a phone call from "Justin" asking me why my account was delinquent. When I explained the situation to him, he stated that they had no record of me ever canceling.

"Justin" has called and spoke with me twice since then, and every time I have to explain the same thing to him. The second time he called, I told him that I had already contacted the BBB. He stated, "That's fine, we have the best rating that a business can possibly have with the BBB." When I told him that they have an "F" rating with the BBB, he continued to argue with me stating that he "checks the BBB website every day."

Guys these people are liars and cheats. The only fault of our own is that we fell into their carefully crafted trap. In these times, offerings of food coupons and gas cards can be a "hook, line, and sinker" for 70 % of the struggling economy.

I move that all of us report the Family Readers Club to our local BBB's. I am also going to research the motions for a Class Action against the company. These people know what they are doing, and luring us in with false promises of monies and coupons. I am certain that they sleep well at night; I would to if I didn't have a conscious.

My only regret is not taking down the first and last name of the woman I spoke with when I canceled: lesson learned.

I ordered magazine subscription back in August 2008 but never received anything. I called them in December 2008 and they said I had to wait for another 8 weeks for the magazine to arrive but never received anything until now February 2009.

I was called by someone from this company they asked me for my address and my account number then they stole money out of my account. I said I di dnot want to take the magazine but they already had my account number and the money was taken out of my account.
His name is Larry Alexander and I am very upset about the treachry that has happened to menad I want all my monry place back in my account.

I willcall tomorrow and I want my money remimbursed. This is unfair andI feel like I am being taken advantage of
