I was approached by a knock on my door January 14th, 2017 by two young black gentleman carrying a white folder requesting assistance with magazine sales that would also go towards a $1000 bonus their company would give them if they had enough sales that they could put towards education or whatever they choose. They claimed to be from poor incomes and Excellent Sales was giving them an opportunity to gain sales experience, develop more business skills and show these business and sales skills they have learned and developed. They asked for my help and told me the had an annual subscriptions for a large selection of magazines and for $25.00 i could order a subscription as well as contribute to their sponsorship of Excellent Sales and assist them in earning $1000 . I said let me look at your selections. I chose to order National Geographic for children and gave the shipping address i would like the magazines shipped to ..The one gentleman then said i have to write a check to Robert Jackson who runs Excellent Sales and make it for $50.00. I asked why $50 and he said it was for a 2 year prescription and they couldn't take less.. I apprehensively did write out a check to Robert Jackson giving it to these young men with the hopes of the magazine order being shipped to my nephew which i was told would be 4-6 weeks and was thanked from these gentlemen for contributing to their $1000 they were attempting to earn.
It has now been over two months..no magazines... no returned calls from Excellent Sales of which I have left at least ten messages on their 888-526-1207 ph # leaving my phone #, order #, check #, date ordered and requested a call back from their company or at least written correspondence as i left my mailing address also .... To date......writing this report on March 18, 2017, .no magazines.. no calls and no written correspondence from Excellent Sales.. When you call their phone # you get a prerecorded message with their business hours requesting you leave a message with your name, phone number and order number and they will return your call.... Sadly my neighbor wrote a check out for $90.00 and never received her magazines either... I am very disgusted that this company continues to fraud people who are kind citizens trying to help young adults with their sales and contribute to their so called $1000.00 they will earn with enough sales. How can this company continue to operate and not get shut down and charged with fraud... .disgusting! I'm not a very well off Woman and I don't have much to my name but tried to help someone less fortunate to be taken advantage of.
'Underprivileged' black man came to my door and said he was given this opportunity to feed his family selling magazine subscriptions. I purchased 2, 3 yr subscriptions to a high-end home and design mag. The cost was $288 and I paid with a check. BIG SCAM. Should be done my research. Never received the magazines and that was in September!
Got scammed for $288 in magazine subscriptions that I never received!
Placed an order for sales of magazines package to help with literacy and battered women. Receipt said I had three days to cancel which I did via fax on the third day at noon time. They also told me I would receive a call before my check was cashed confirming my purchase. They refuse to answer calls and when I leave a detailed message, no one calls me back. They're ignoring my cancellation and calls.
On Nov. 22 I purchased magazines to be sent to an organization which houses homeless children. I wanted to help the magazine seller AND Catholic Charities, so I bought $180 worth of children's magazines but mistakenly wrote the wrong address. I called next day and no one answered. VM (Customer Service, option 1) said leave message for return call. I told them I needed to change the address of the charity I was donating the magazines to. No one called me back. Tried again days later (11/25) & no one responded. Called again on 11/30 & left another message. No one returned the call.
I called on 12/2 & 12/3 & left messages on Option 1. No one called back. On 12/4, Jennifer answered the phone & told me the paperwork was not in but should be here by Wed 12/9. I called on 12/11 and no one answered or returned my message. I tried again on 12/14, 12/15 & 12/17. Left messages that no one returned. On 12/18, I pressed option 2 (which is SALES, not Customer Service), and miraculously, someone answered. I was told the paperwork was still not in!!!!
I called again on Jan 4 & went to voice mail (option 1). I left a message: no one returned the call. On Jan 6, I called & pressed Option 2 (SALES), and Jennifer answered! Guess what I was told??? PAPERWORK STILL NOT IN!!!! What's interesting to me is Jennifer DIDN'T ONCE try to console me, didn't try to defend her company, and when I told her I would contact BBB & go viral with the fraudulency of her company, she did nothing to work it out!
I had to pay by check, which has been cashed, of course
