There are many hard-working Americans on the injured list created by Sunshine Readers or Home Office Magazine Service. Many of them are on Social Security or Disability, barely able to survive. Countless grandmas and grandpas are falling victim to their scam. It makes no sense why they should be excused from their actions.

They continue to operate, preying on anyone who has an existing magazine subscription. I am going to do whatever necessary to stop them. If you have been affected in any way, or if you have any suggestions, please send a message.

It needs to end now.

YES! I ABSOLUTELY, WHOLE-HEARTEDLY AGREE WITH YOU! poor old ladies and grandpas are falling victims to scams of every type imaginable! I saw some stories on 60 MINUTES, PRIMETIME, 20/20. The government is their guardian angel at this point. Im happy that there is a "DO NOT CALL" LIST LAW, it's just about time! These scammers are creative in the evil way. If they could only put their creative talents into good use. I believe in KARMA and whether you intend it or not, you will get a taste of your own medicine in due time. Also, it is no excuse that you are an "ex-telemarketer" boohoo, cry me a river, there are many jobs out there that doesn't involve exploited and corrupting the poor and vulnerable. "TELEMARKETERS" doing cold-calls are equivalent to a thousand or so of spawned SATANS SITTING IN CUBICLES. Good rule of thumb, "Don't call me, I'll call you".

other scams in the works....
(1) Magazine Subscriptions for $0.01 or $1.00/mo.
(2) DVD &/or CD subscriptions for $0.01 or $1.00/mo.
(3) DVD Rental Companies (be extra careful! always check your bank balances!)

other tips & advice....
(1) Always monitor your bank balance for suspicious activities (you should know this by now)

lastly....
(3) Real business companies don't steal money from customers (just viciously wrong!); Real business co. respect their customers'/members' privacy and honor their trust and loyalty. Although, there are some companies out there that are clever enough to play both side of the coin and able to swindle money from customers in increments. The employees of these companies should just expose them all! Whistle-blow! Go on and snitch! it's fun when corrupt, greedy companies like ENRON, WORLDCOM and others get the public humility. If you're gonna' take them down, take them down in the grandest way imaginable!

I am the attorney for Sunshine Readers, Inc. I was made aware of this chat thread and feel compelled to respond. Sunshine Readers is a legitimate, law-abiding business which goes out of its way to provide excellent customer service.

On the other hand, the author of the post alleging fraud, Genea Munson, is a disgruntled former employee under investigation for theft of company property by law enforcement authorities in Anoka, Minnesota. Ms. Munson's enthusiasm (and credibility) should be viewed in light of its appearance only after working for years at Sunshine Readers without complaint regarding business practices.

Anyone with a legitimate concern regarding the service they have received or not received from Sunshine Readers should contact me (sstern@mplslaw.com) or Pat Mus, Sunshine Reader's president (sunshinereaders@mcleodusa.net), for personal attention and resolution.

As noted above, Sunshine Readers takes its commitment to Customer Service very seriously. It has thousands of satisfied customers, looks forward to working with its customers to enhance their buying experience, and asks only for the courtesy of the chance to correct any problems before its reputation is sullied in a public forum.

Thank you for your consideration. -- Samuel L. Stern

i was called today and i singed up does anyone know the number i didnt get it i got on to see what it was i need to call them and cancel my stupid mistake thanx send me an e-mail if anyone can help. just_us865@yahoo.com Thanx.

i got scammed from these guys for magazine subscriptions to the tune of $890.00. i found this out on one of my credit card statements. i ended up having to close out the card in order to stop any further debits to my account. i went to their web site, www.sunshinereaders.com, and the whole site is a fraud and scam. the customer service number they list is a conference forum that you need a password to enter and i have no idea what company it is afflicated with. the search key is inoperable, it is just there forlooks as well as the magazine selection key. the whole site is BOGUS!!! they started callin me and the so-called recording they had of me was bogus also. their sales reps came in clear as a bell, but any recording they supposedly had of me on the tape were totally unhearable, nothing but static. they then started calling me demanding payment, before i closed my credit card account and right after they had taken their first debit installment. at this time they did not know i had closed my account. they said it was their collection department and wanted their payment as i was behind. now this is 3 days after my credit card was debited with a payment to them and before i closed the account.. they called me back using unmentionable foul language. i confronted them about their web site and that's when the foul language commensed. i hung up on them . they called back 7 times in 3 minutes and were threatening me and were verbally abusive and still using foul language. i ended up also changing my phone number. if they keep bothering me i am willing to start a class action suit if any of you are interested in being in on this with me, numbers usually carry more clout. please beware of these people as they are nothing but SCAM AND CON ARTIST!!!!!

ok guys...here it is ...the page from the MN Better Business Bureau..check it out and file your complaints......the more complaints the better the chances we have to stop these illegal practices:
