Americans are the victim u dumd idiot, americans should not have to work 2 jobs because these greedy corporations pay 8 dollars an hour, and dont give any kind of health care for us citizens. nobody is lazy and abusing goverment assistance, people are struggling to get by because there are no jobs that pay americans what there worth. so they can provide for there family.the only thing americans are guilty of are being slaves to corporations but to blind to notice, or do anything about it. sounds like were getting scammed to me.

This is a total scam.  I pitch junk mail and this company had no right to charge me $29.99 a month because I didn't reply to their junk mail.  I never authorized this charge.  If they don't give me a complete refund they will hear from my lawyer.

You are the dumb one for not recognizing a total scam!

On my Visa card ,i got a bill for 21.99. Can't find out how to get iin touch with these people to have them sending me bills.

To STOP sending me a bill

As a former "associate" myself, I can't begin to tell just how off base you really are.

AmeriMark TARGETS the elderly, period.

The employee handbook openly states a sales pitch is required of every eligible customer (which in any given day is usually every single customer that calls) and two STRONG rebuttals are required.

For what?

WORTHLESS programs that every single Amerimark employee receives for free yet next-to- NO ONE utlizes because of the inherent worthless value of said programs. No one in their right mind would pay 0.99 cents a month for all four---much less $29.99 per month (with an automatic renewal) for Passport to Health.

AmeriMark is a soulless, predatory company that preys on the most vulnerable---our nation's senior citizens.

The coupons are simply the carrot, as another former employee noted---and it's used relentlessly to lure seniors into taking a "trial membership"---and every single rebuttal first and foremost stresses coupons, coupons, coupons.

Every sales manager has a big board with their "team members" individual names and the ONLY metric---the only stat that counts and is given any weight is member ship sales and membership conversion rates ( ex: you're expected to "sell" a membership to one out of every 5 callers or so)

You think when you call in you're speaking with a friendly operator interested in taking and ensuring the accuracy of your merchandise order? That's NOT what they are. They're trained sales-people whose only mission--whose sole purpose is to bully, harass, sweet talk, many times LIE--say whatever it takes to get a membership "sent out". The best receive up to $4.00 per sale

These are zero maintenance memberships with little to no value. It's no maintenance because the company has a third party handle it all. Yes, if you prod and insist the company will offer to refund a portion---and if you REALLY threaten them they'll refund every withdrawal---but that's simply a cost of doing business to them--as they've already pocketed your money and it's earning interests via investment. It's casino cash to them.

They specifically target the elderly (who else orders via telephone from a catalog these days?) who don't have access to online sites such as this, who may not have all of their mental faculties and who are the easiest to victimize. AmeriMark KNOWINGLY takes full advantage.

The merchandise means little to them. The customer service experience even less. The do NOT care about the customer one bit.

As far as the so-called "disclosures" go-- that's a complete joke, They're read through as if one was practicing for a speed reading contest, and by that time the customer has already been thoroughly pitched.

This is an evil business and an evil business model. They literally HOPE that granny forgets to call to cancel (sending out the "memberships a full 10 days later contributes to that as well---why not send it out with the order?) so they can start billing the cc every single month.

They are a disgusting, filthy company run by people with no morals, conscience, or simple and the most rudimentary human compassion and understanding. They prey on the elderly, PERIOD.

Also, AmeriMark charges a "priority replacement fee" for every single order. They attempt through vague and subtle lack of reference ("your total with merchandise, shipping and handling and replacement fee) to make you believe this is a type of insurance when in actuality it's a WORTHLESS charge.

If the item is "lost, stolen or damaged" they will simply pull your items from the warehouse in a timely fashion.

That's it.

The trainer openly stated it is of zero value to the customer but in her exact words "AmeriMark makes millions of dollars per year from it"

Also in training you're told directly from the trainer "The elderly have money--don't let them cry poor" as if we're somehow ENTITLED to it via continuous monthly charges to their cc.

These are people who, again, possess zero morals and ethics. These scumbags want your elderly parents and grandparents money---plain and simple. These are completely unexpected sales pitches that take place at the very end of the call. It begins with "Thanks for today's order, and as a valued customer we would like to send you $50/100 in catalog coupons-----then the pitch to the elderly.

Scumbags---every single one of them. The workers are just doing their jobs--but it's the scum sucking management that gleefully encourages, rewards, and in every case DEMANDS the ripping off of seniors.

Nice comment being a representative of which I don't believe you are, go get a life troller!!!

You are obviously not very bright because you decided to take the time to reply to a 5 year old post in a thread that has been dormant for 2 years. Your spamming C & P will now  be deleted.

My wife ordered an item from "Time For Me" and she pays her credit cards in full each month and this month May 2016 had not purchased anything and there was a $29.95 charge from "Time For Me" and upon calling her credit card company discovered they had been charging that amount each month since January 2015. I am still trying to get it straightened out and so far Chase is very helpful and being cooperative.  She has paid $449.25 for this non service so far, just hope she can get it back.  I presume that "Time For Me" signed her up with the order she made.  We get so many toll free calls and do not answer them and some leave messages which we delete.

It is such a shame that honest unsuspecting people get scammed from these untruthful companies.  So do not buy anything from "Time For Me".

The Credit card info was given for an unrelated purchase.  You already have the last 4 digits of the credit card.  You can at that point charge whatever you feel you want to scam out of the customer.  Stop playing games.  It's fraud and you know it.
This response is 6 years after your original post, so it goes to show how effective this scam really is.
Stealing money from poor folk on social security and probably in their last days.  You have no shame!

Most of the people who get roped into this scam are elderly people. My grandmother cannot hear very well and uses a hearing aid, shes easily influenced. These are the people that they target. People who cannot advocate for themselves. It's a moral issue. Are people getting a quality product? No! It's fraud! My grandmother thought she was getting" free coupons". We did call right after we discovered the first $29.99 charge on her card. Thinking that was the end of it she didn't check on it again. THE COMPANY NEVER CANCELED THE MEMBERSHIP or stopped charging her card they continued to charge her monthly $29.99. For 6 mo! THEY PREY UPON THE ELDERLY FOR A REASON..ITS TOO EASY!
I could see your average person maybe needing to be more mindful & paying better attention about what they are agreeing to over the phone  but when I see that the dominance of people being affected by this scam are over 75 years old there's a problem!!!
ITS JUST WRONG!

*4/04/2017 *
It doesn't matter how old this article or thread is people need to continue to speak up &  out regarding this outrageous issue of a company scamming the elderly. The fact that this information was first reported in 2005 makes me sick. This should be stopped I don't care what anybody else has to say about it in defense of this disgusting company. If somehow the information gets out and helps another person or stops another grandmother from being scammed or taken advantage of (when she gets so little on social Security and has a hard time making ends meet as it is) I'm gonna keep talking about it! People tend to forget, outta sight outta mind.  Thank God  The fraud department of my grandmothers bank is helping her pursue this issue and seek restitution. This is gone on way too long! Karma is going to be looking for these people best know that.

Attempted to place an order thru Amerimark!   They were in the Philippines!!!    Didn't get far enough to give them cc info, thank God!!    This is not right!   Will definitely not be a customer!!!
