A few months ago I was applying for college scholarships when I got a phone call from a company called Great American Readers saying I won $1000 dollars and all I had to do was agree to some magazine subscriptions. not only did they never send me my $1000 but they charged $45 on my credit account and want me to pay $800 more! I canceled my credit card and they won't stop calling and harassing me. On top of all that they send me a TRUCKLOAD of magazines I absolutely don't care about and go directly to the trash when I receive them.

I am usually never angry but right now I am ENRAGED!! !! !! !! :wall:
I can't stop thinking very dark and highly unchristian thoughts against these people and next time they call I'm thinking of having my scary brother cuss them out and make them crap their pants! :evil:

How do I get these scumbags to leave me alone???

I would recommend a M2A1-7 flamethrower. Stops scammers of all kinds.

If they call you again, threaten them. Regardless, report them to the FTC and to the Post Office. It sounds like a postal scam.

Federal Trade Commission link

USPS Fraud link

Thank you I reported them to the proper authorities and later to day I'm going to call their little 800 number and let my foul-mouthed, thuggish Gansta wannibe younger brother talk to them. :twisted:
