They are using a scam with magazines and its not even the magazines that you want. They want $998 for some magazines unreal not happening. I dont have no money to give them for that. I rather look out the windows for free. It ashame that people do things like this to people that dont have money. So glad I caught it in time. Try callling them and then you cant reach them on the phone. But when you see this note. My order is cancelled and the form will be in the mail this afternoon.
In May of 2017, I received a phone call from Viking Magazine saying I won a $250 Walmart giftcard as well as, 2 free magazines. They asked me what kind of magazines would I be interested in? I told them I didn't even read the newspaper, what would I do with a magazine? He convinced me to take magazines and I asked for Home & Gardens, Rachael Ray (1 that Jason suggeated) and he said I would need to pay for 2 to get those 2 free. I asked for a Craft magazine and People magazine. I gave him my credit card information and he told me it would be $39.95 a month and take 6-8 weeks for my magazines to come in. I told him I didn't have any money come in until the 3rd becauae I was on a fixed income. $39.95 was a lot. He assured me that I could cancel my order after 30 days so I could use my gift card. That they would need at least 2 payments before I cancelled. Jason then said that they would email me a confirmation and once I confirmed that I would receive my gift card via email that I could use online at Walmart.com. I told him that was odd. I've never heard of using a gift card online. It's the way everyone shops nowdays, he said. So a couple of days went by and I called back telling him that I still had not received an email from him and he said that it would come to me in the heading of "reply to" and he just sent it again. I said, I haven't got it yet. He goes if you don't get it by the end of the day, let me know. I called and left him a message. He didn't call by the afternoon the next day and I called again leaving another message telling him to cancel my subscription. Since I didn't receive the gift card, I didn't want it. This was in July 2017. I never heard back from him. Today September 19, 2017. I called them to cancel my order. A man answers the phone, transfers me to Jason. Jason tells me he is calling because of my deliquent account. I said, I called you. He starts asking me when am I going to make my payment? It's going to collections and he has been calling me. I askes him what phone # do you have? That's no longer my #. He cuts me off and continues yelling at me. He then hangs up on me so I call back and they keep hanging up. Finally. Kayla answers. She starts yelling at me saying they are collecting my debt. I asked her, is this Viking Magazine Services or a collection agency? She said, are you going to pay $300 using your credit card? She became volatile rude telling me I don't even know who I spoke to, calling me a liar. I hing up and googled them online. Found a different number and some lady named Laura got on the phone sayong she was the one who spoke to me earlier. They are scam artists. They are rude, deceptive thieves trying to take people for whatever they can.
The customer service was unprofessional. The agents were rude and terse. They refused to give me any other options to cancel. I have yet to receive a magazine. I was also promised a visa gift card along with other promotional gift cards, all of which i yet to receive. I have since cancelled the card associated with this magazine and will fight tooth and nail if they try to report me to any credit agency, which is what the first agent told me they were doing since I refused to pay for another month. I was told I could cancel at any time. These people are crooks and scammers. They should be put out of business asap.
I received a called from the Vikings Magazine .. offered $250.00 Wal-Mart gift card if I order their magazines. I explained to the woman, I don't read and not interested in the magazines. She insisted.. so, I ordered the magazines the Month of April. The magazines was received at the end of June and it was'my not what I ordered. $49.00 withdrawn my account twice, April and May.. I contacted the company to let them know I lost my job, I have no income and requested "Cancellation ". At that time, I had not received the gift card nor the magazines.
The lady told me that I was lying about losing my job, having no income and it's too late for a cancellation. She asked me, how am I paying my rent and phone. I explained to her, I got assistance from the STATE that has a program; will my rent and she asked about my phone, since I received assistant, I'm qualified for a free phone with 500 minutes. She told me that I was lying and she disconnected the call. I've been out of work since and having no income.. tryed work thru the temp agencies , no success. I went to my bank to stopped Vikings Magazines from going into my account.
This company should seriously go down! First, I NEVER and I repeat NEVER, got ANY of the magazines that I origianly ordered. I received magazine after magazine of stuff that I certainly do not need. Then, after repeated calls to customer service requesting that my services be terminated and my credit card to stop being charged, I contacted my credit card company to have the charges blocked. The representative with my credit card company was very compliant and even refunded the previous two months of charges, because I did NOT authorize them. Low and behold this morning, I received yet another call from Viking Magazine and this time, I decided to answer it. The representative was furious that I had charged back the unauthorized charges, and then proceeded to tell me that the collection calls will continue and that "This will be fun." I simply said "OK, and you have a nice day!" Either way, this company is terrible! I hope that they are shut down quickly!!!
Well they started off as a phone call telling me they had came across my name in a drawing to receive the $250 walmart gift card and asked if i was subscribe to any mags i said no the lady told me i would get some mags for free no upfront payment. Then patched me through to her so call boss who said the same and told me after the call to check my email for the $250 gift card codes which never came by the way. Then went on asking for my ssn i gave it because he said that would be one of the questions they asked at customer service. Luckily i cancel my card after 48hrs but they still have my ssn and im beyond pissed. Im pregnant and have 3 kids already thats why i thought it was a great deal i hope some catches these scammers asap..
