Magazine Subscription Scandal

Hi. a guy came up to my apartment asking me to subscibe for 3 magazines so to help him out to get points for a competition for a trip to London. I signed up for it and on the very next day I mailed back the receipt requesting a refund. I sent it with track number and the record shows that they received my request on 3/29, however the check was still cashed on 4/1. 3 weeks later I still have not heard from them nor did I get my magazines, and there was not sign of refunding. Then I called the operator they told me that there is no such company (Service Unlimited Plus) existing and at the same time my friend told me that Police have knocked on her door telling her that such magazine subscription competition were fake and that's only a scam. I called the bank and there is no way I can get their contact number or file any fraud against them since I really wrote them a check. Please help me I think this is too unfair!!

Re: Magazine Subscription Scandal

You can file a police report and, if you ever find them, sue them for fraud. What do you think your chances are.

I would attribute this to "One of Life's Lessons" and learn from it. Don't buy anything from door to door salespeople.
