I was wondering if anyone has had any dealing with "Great American Reader"? I am kinda ashamed to say this because I fell for it. Basically it sounded 100% legitimate without a doubt. They called and said something to the affect of the were partnered with my credit card company and since I was in good standing they were going to offer me a $1000 gift card. I would receive a years worth of free magazines at a discounted price of like $39.So like an idiot, I gave them my credit card number. I thought that sounded good for that many magazines at that price. They asked if I would like that offer and I said sure. They said that I had just entered into a legal contract and there was no turning back. I have not placed my signiture onto any papers or anything. How is that a legal/binding contract? Does anyone know the law on that? After I found out that it was a scam, I called and had my credit card cancelled. (I did some research online to see what websites I could use this gift certificate for and found no legit site and nothing but complaint of people in the same situation that I am in)

They have been calling the past couple of days. I picked up the phone today and a guy said that my payment for this month didn't go through and wanted to set up a new payment method. I politely declined and said I was no longer interested. At this point the guy gets very irrate and rude with me. He asks why I was wanting to cancel and I explained that I had read right after I talked the first time to these people, that I knew they were a scam and wasn't interested. It seems that so many people have been "HAD" by this company and no one can help. I have tried to call the BBB but can't locate a phone number. What good would it do to contact the states attorney general? I have a good friend who is a lawer, would it do any good for me to give her the companys number and let her handle it? I got tired of hearing the guys fuss at me on the phone so I just hung up and he hasn't tried to contact me again today. When I found out the first time that they were a scam, I called the company back and as soon as the lady picked up the phone, she didn't give me time to say anything, she just gave me a number and said this is for your cancelation. I called the number which was fake. I am trying to get out of this can anyone PLEASE HELP!!! I know you probably think I am an idiot for going along with this whole thing but it was a valuable lesson learned, THE HARD WAY!!! PLEASE HELP!!!
