On January 2011 I received a phone call from this company offering a sweepstakes for a wrist watch and five subscriptions for different magazines of my preferences. I choose two (2) for muscle cars and three (3) for traveling, paying a monthly fee for almost 40 $. During five (5) months I did pay it in full without receiving a single magazine. After five (5) calls to this company, offering to call me back after inquiring to the publishers whatâ€™s happening about my magazines (without any offered response answer) I cancelled my bank account payments. Three (3) months later from that, after receiving four magazines, three of them not related to the ones asked for, I received many phone calls and a letter asking to pay my debt in full. Of course I answered to them, that I will pay my debt after receiving at least more than 25 magazines already cancelled, they answered that this was not acceptable and I should pay my full debt to receive my products. At the end I refused to answer their phone calls, because they didnâ€™t wanted to deal an new agree.

IMC called me for the same sweepstakes stating that I had been entered in a million dollar giveaway sweepstakes and also would be getting a watch for free. This was just for using my visa credit card. They had me "verify" the number just to make sure it was my card.. then they were telling me that I had agreed to purchase 5 magazines of my choice for $40 a month. I was driving with bad cell reception at the time and was beginning to tell her, I didn't want to do that, that I had misunderstood when I got disconnected. I was running errands and didnt bother to call back because I thought since I told them I didnt want to do this that they wouldnt process it. Keep in mind I had just turned 18 and had no experience with this kind of thing. Then I got a charge for the $40. Magazines started coming so I called them and asked to cancel. They said that I was locked in for FIVE years worth of magazines. I told them I DONT EVEN READ MAGAZINES! I JUST TURNED 18 and I FEEL TARGETED. My bill was over $1, 000 with no way out. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT, GOT LAID OFF from my job, and now I'm stuck with this ridiculous bill everymonth for something I dont even use. IMC is a scam artist, they use good sales people to believe they are helping u out when really they are screwing u over for 5 years. If you get the call, HANG UP!
