The customer service number is a Bay Area number in California:
415-504-3842 not a Vegas area code. Hopefully something can be done about this scammer.

I called that #. It says that the message box is full. Umm, I wonder why... :mad:
 
Found out today that one of the magazines I ordered in March had stopped publication back in December 2005.
 
Check out the website now -- there's a message there on how to contact them to get the order processed or to receive a refund.
 
Thanks for posting that. Very interesting development.........Why don't they post more info at the site?
 
Fern, It is not your fault. You were sharing information you found on the web with your fellow tuggers. I have personally benefited from many similar posts from good o tuggers like yourself. It looked good to me, If I was concerned about the risk involved I probably would of ordered 1 magazine for 1 year for the grand total of 5 dollars.I am receiving both of my mags that I ordered from this site. The ending dates on the labels appear to be correct also. I guess I was fortunate to get my order processed before things went wrong over there. Hope they get every thing straight for the rest of you guys and the "previous owner" of this site gets whatever punishment he deserves.
 
I sent an email to the "new site" owner. I've heard nothing. Did anyone get a phone number for the new owner or any other info at all?:wall:
 
:wall: After sending another message to the new owner, I got an email today. It didn't contain much info. I was able to forward my correspondence with Shaun Bonk about the Reader's Digest renewal but haven't found the method of payment, yet. There was a receipt ID number, however.

What email address do you have for the new owner?
 
And I was hoping to find a cheap price for Playboy! :)

Cheapest Mags Online is under new development. Unfortunately the previous owner had a batch of orders sent back. If you placed an Order between April - May and have not received your magazines, please contact us at magazines@cheapestmagsonline.com. We will make sure your order is processed or will give you a refund. We would like you to know that the new ownership will give you great service with a toll free number and a guarantee in writing to make sure your orders will be processed. ​
 
Brian posted the info from the site in the previous post....They haven't responded. I'm wondering if it is really someone new or just our friend Shaun. I did let them know I had downloaded the form from the Nevada Atty General's site.

It could indeed be our friend Shaun. Or just about anybody else. The domain is now registered through a Domain Registration Proxy, with their name and address showing. So you have no idea *who* you are dealing with.

I'd rather be out $5., $10., or even $50. rather then turn over my payment information to somebody anonymous so they could "refund it." Buyer beware.

Thanks, Fern, I'll put that info in the mail with the other stuff for the Nevada AG's office.

There is also other address info from the ebayerswhosuck.com website.

I just hope young Shauan gets his just rewards.........
 
I sent a copy of my payment info for the subscription I ordered in April.
I just got an email response saying that I should have received my subscription by now. They offered either a refund or a three-year subscription, so I chose the latter. I'll post if it actually happens.:)
 
Silly me...

....sent the wrong receipt but I did get a response saying it wasn't their receipt. So I've sent the right one and it remains to be seen what they do.
 
I too was contacted by the 'new owners' . I sent them a copy of my receipt and was asked if I wanted a refund issued. I said that I'd prefer to get the magazines quickly, but if that was not possible, I'd certainly take the refund.

That was 2 weeks ago and I haven't yet heard back from the owner. Odd how they didn't admit to any knowledge of Shaun Bonk's dealings, but did say he had worked there.

We'll see. In the meantime I'll be sending in one of those Nevada Complaint Forms. Thanks all for being so open and sharing this info.... Noelle
 
Still no response...

...from sending the correct receipt.
 
I was just looking at my reciept myself. Wondering about it. I sent an email to the "new owner". Let's se if I hear back.
 
I never got contacted by the "new owners" but found out about it on TUG and went to the web site. I don't think that web site is the least bit trustworthy....sometimes they answer and sometimes they don't. I don't intend to mess with them. Let the Nevada AG.

I went to the site and it has a "coming soon" page now with no info. Our friend Shaun is a web designer.........

I received an email today saying that the refund will be issued tomorrow. It also said that they issue refunds every Friday. Will let you know...
 
Refund

I received an email yesterday that they would be mailing me a refund check.
 
Did you ever receive your refund from this "new" company. Does anyone have the email address or phone number? My daughter ordered and has never received any of the magazines. I'm still waiting for one of mine...luckily I got the other 4 finally.
 
Shaun has emailed me(because of my correspondence with the Nevada AG, I'm sure) and promised prompt dispatch of a money order for my balance. The check's in the mail......
