Licensing for National Magazine Exchange
This company is in an industry that may require licensing, bonding or registration in order to lawfully do business. BBB encourages you to check with the appropriate agency to be certain any requirements are currently being met.

I have received a bill for some magazines I supposedly ordered. I did not order any magazines nor have I received any magazines. Publishers Clearing House did the same thing to me, however, when I called them to cancel they cancelled the subscriptions they had for me and told me to keep the ones I had already received (their compliments) and I would not receive anymore. These companies need to be reported because they are ripping off people, young and old. But the elderly are hurt the most because they live on a limited income.

This is obviously junk mail. The address of the company doing this is on this website. Maybe we should send them our junk mail back. Let them waste their time and money dealing with it.

I just received a call from an attorney office stating that National Magazine had given them my name.. this is such a SCAM!!! I was told that I would be entered in a sweepstakes contest and no purchase nesessary----now they want me to pay $34 for magaxines I never got!!! I have called and called theNational magazine company many times, and many times I have left messages stating that I never received the magazines, if they would send me the magazines, I would pay for them.. this was from the year 2005--I am not a magazine reader, this is a scam

I have to say this is embarrasing, but a couple of weeks ago, I got a mailing from Publishers Clearing House, (Florida), and threw out my entry, that they send. Needless, to say, I got this notice saying I was still eligle, for $1, 1000, 000.00. I read where it said, no purchase necessary. Next thing I know a woman, is asking what magazine's I want, and her supervisor gets on the phone, and says I can 3 magazines, (Ladies Home Journal, Money, or Better Homes and Garden), when I realize he's going to charge me for fours years, I said NO WAY, but I did not hang up like I should have. Then tried to sell me prepaid gift cards, I said NO. Also, said I could go onto website to pick out watches as a special gift. I really thought I was getting a good on 3 magazines I really like.

I signed up for 1 year, with 22.00 3 consecutive payments. He asked for my e-mail and I would get confirmation in my e-mail. Guess what, NO E-MAIL. I'm afraid to call, because I'm afraid of what I'll say or do, after reading these complaints, I feel STUPID!!! Now I think, I can cancel my credit card, but it's probably too late, but we'll see.

Right now, I just have to stay calm.
