FIVE STARS FOR THE MAGAZINE, BUT BEWARE OF FUTURE OFFERS
The information in this MAGAZINE is a joy to read and includes current non-fictional information, biographies, jokes, photos, and so much more. It’s smaller size makes it handy to keep in a purse or larger pocket. There is even a large print version.
We had been RD subscribers for years prior to moving, so when Amazon offered this offer, we eagerly signed up for ONE subscription.
(However we received TWO subscriptions!)
Why only ONE STAR? The RD magazine would get 4 or 5; however we gave it only ONE as a warning. Our subscription, as mentioned in other reviews, initiated a ton of junk mail offers for additional products/books arrived by e-mail and by USPS! There was no requirement to buy these products, but let’s face it, junk mail appropriately earned it’s name. But, the nightmare got worse!
We recently received a package containing a book (untitled) that was the first volume of many to follow. The book cost $10+ tax, but was free for the first volume, $0.00. There was no price listed for the following untitled books. NOR was there any way to opt out of further issues!!! The [only] ONE instruction included and was to return the “payment slip” with a check (bank information). Talk about the RED FLAGS for FRAUD!!!
Please note: The company requesting this information was not Reader’s Digest nor Amazon... another red flag. And there was
no way to return the book or auto-shipments of further volumes! Not even information on the titles or genre.
Just a friendly warning...
