I ordered a magazine from MagsForLess. After receiving one issue I got contacted by MagsForLess, and they said there had been a problem with my order and I will receive a refund shortly.

It's been 4 months and I am still waiting for my refund.

Billed credit card for magazine renewal but never sent in order for magazine. will not reply to complaint.

Scam! I felt safe ordering since I used Paypal but later found out the hard way that Paypal payment disputes have to be made within 60 days. Since I was told that it was a 12 week wait for the magazine to arrive, naturaly it was too late for me to file a dispute with Paypal once I realized that the magazines were not to be expected. I've contacted customer service over 10 times and only received their automated responses. I should have checked the reviews on this site prior to making my order. It was only $12.99 but still a lesson learned!

I sent numerous emails to MagsForLess, but got no response UNTIL I SENT THE FOLLOWING EMAIL YESTERDAY. I think you guys should try to do the following to get your money back.

Joel Simkhai, Jamie Davis, or whoever it would be @ MagsForLess, 41 West 72nd Street, 10G, New York, NY 10023, 646-593-7197:

I had read so many forums and websites, and now I know you are a scam. I already reported you to New York Attorney General, New York City Department of Consumer Affairs, Better Business Bureau, FBI - Internet Crime Complaint Center. I will contact the New York State Police Department today to report you and give them all your information. I will also contact all the victims who posted messages against you on different websites or forums. Once I have enough number of victims, I will have my lawyer to file a class action against you. So, have fun scamming people. I'm sure you will pay for what you've done.

SURPRISINGLY, THEY FINALLY REPLIED ME ON THE SAME DAY:
