Magazine Direct
Complaint 333147 Details

This company calls and tries to get you to believe that you owe money for magazine subscriptions. They make is sound as if you already order through them and owe money for renewals- then they get your account number and charge it repeatedly., usually for $49.98. They say their charge is monthly then they charge several times and it is not our subscription provider! They seem to target the elderly, and use tactics such as screaming things such as "are you stupid?" , yelling that "you signed up for his and now you have to pay!" Very threatening to an elderly person, including the "supervisor" on the phone screaming, hang ups and then calling right back yelling, etc. Oddly enough, after they did not get more money the account was fraudulently used to obtain another $500 from a cash machine the next day after refusing them. They also send unsigned, threatening "Credit Manager's Delinquent Listings" letters stating over 1K owed - for magazines! FYI, they have an F rating with the BBB.
