I meant, 30-60 minutes total to submit a report to all of these sites … not 30-60 minutes per complaint filed.

I also had a bad experience with these people very recently (16 Jan 2012). I won’t post the full story here – it is similar to others posted above. If you want to know the particulars of my story, just Google my name and Readers Services. Anyway, I am not sure that my saga has yet ended but FYI, I filed complaints with FTC/Do Not Call, BBB, Attorney General for that state (FL in my case), and I think also the FBI. I got a call back from the a woman with this company indicating that they received a complaint and they wanted to speak with me to resolve it. The voicemail message she left went silent for the space of 2 digits when she left her phone number. So I couldn’t return their call and therefore don’t know what their story would have been. I did however find that the charge had been removed from my credit card.
So, people, file complaints. Apparently sometimes it works.

I have been receiving these magazines that I did NOT order for the last 6 months. There is no phone # or address on the magazines so that I can send them back or notify the company that this is happening. When they call me, I tell them I didn’t order them and they say they have my voice on tape. I say no you don’t because I never ordered them. I asked them for there name and address and all they sais was Readers Service but would not give me their address. They just hung up! This kind of fraud is very frustrating and infuriating. I don’t know who to turn to in this matter.

This people identiffying themselves as READERS SERVICE keeping calling me from different numbers everytime asking how they are doing with the magazine delivery services. I keep telling them that they are a fraud and they don’t care. Someone has to get this people. I have already reported them many times to DO NOT CALL LIST.
i have wrtitten to many of the magazines subscribed and they claim they can not do anything because the subscription comes from another company. Can any one help me on letting me know how we can stop this people stopping from continue with fraud?
Sincerely,
R, Frossard

Yeh, they got me. They call saying that there has been some problems with deliveries in my area. Because I do get some magazines, I unfortunately fell for it, to the point of even “verifying” my credit card information (i.e. giving it to them).

Had to change my debit card number.

I’m trying to find an address for them so that I can officially write to them and tell them to cancel and that I feel I was coerced, etc.
