866-394-9149

thats their working phone number i found

I got home from work today and I went to check my bank account online to see if a few of my checks that I had written had gone through yet and when I got on it said that my account was in the negatives and I knew there had to be something wrong because I knew that I had more than enough money to pay my bills. Here I checked further into it and the place had charged me twice and now I don't have any money in my account and because of them I owe the bank money that I quite frankly don't have. I've called them on many occasions to cancel my account and they just give me the same crap of them needing to make sure that all my information was correct and they just keep giving me lower prices that I'll have to pay. I told them that I just want to cancel the account because I don't get enough money from my job to be paying it. My work screwed me over in hours and I can hardly pay my bills let alone this too. They didn't charge me last month so I thought that they had stopped but I looked today and they had charged me twice and when I tried to call the number I just keep getting a busy tone. I called my grandfather about it and he said to call my bank and tell them whats going on and they should be able to block them from taking money out of my account. I tried calling another number but they are closed so I'm getting up early tomorrow morning and calling. If it comes down to it I'll sue them. I'm so over this now.

I also recieved a call from this number, and they just recently took cash out of my account, without my conscent. I am very unhappy.

They called me a few months ago saying i had been entered into a sweepstakes for 1,000,000 dollars just for using my bank card. i'm only 19 and didn't follow what they were saying to well but it ended in them charging my acct. several times for 80 dollars a piece. i really would like to kno how i can stop all this. if ne one kno's ne thing please get back to me.

Same thing happened to us. My husband got a call from this company like two weeks ago, he gave them our credit card # & i got pissed off at him & told him to never ever do that cause it could be a scam & sure enough i looked them up & saw all these complaints about this company so i told him to call our bank & we found out they had already charged our card without our consent, we had to cancel our debit card & get a new one. We tried calling the company to cancel the subscription but they said we couldn't cause they prepaid the magazines & we will get them in 60-90 days & we told them we don't want them to send them back where they got them they said they can't do that & for us to pay them like $500 & they will cancel it but i was like hell no they are not robbing us & they said they will put my husband on collections cause we canceled our card they tried to get more money & it wouldn't go through the lady i spoke to hung up the phone on me when i asked for a manager or anyone else above her who i can speak to. Then a few minutes later we got a call back from supposedly the manager from the co. some guy John & he was so rude to my husband & wouldn't let him speak so he gave me the phone & he started telling me that when my husband was man enough he can call him back if not he would put him on collections cause they couldn't get more money from our card since we canceled it so i laughed & said "of course not we aren't going to let you rob us he canceled it" & now he keeps calling us trying to make my husband send him more money & threatening to put him on collections.We even called the magazine companies from which were ordered to see if they work with IMC in any way or if they prepay any magazines from them & they said that they don't know who IMC is & no they don't have any connections with them whatsoever. We are going to the legal office on base to see what they can do about this company & if they even have anything on us cause this is unacceptable & a total scam.

Yes, stay away from these freaks. IMC is a scam and I just reported them to the Federal Trade Commission. If you do succumb to their lies, just call and try to cancel. I tried; after telling them I cannot afford the payments, the lady after raising voice at me told me that to make me happy since I am their valuable costumer, she will only charge me the one payment of $80.00. To get rid of them, I said fine. They did only charge me once, but I do not trust them. So I decided to cancel my credit card- now there is no way they can charge me. I cannot believe that there are companies out there who hire people who are willing to scam people out of hundred of dollars. Note that they sound nice when you tell them what they want to hear but as soon as you say that you want to cancel your account, they go crazy on you. Such human beings do not deserve to live.

LOL but you get the employee discount!

someone please help stop these horrible people.  I am very poor and they are taking 80.00 out of my account.  I cant get them to stop and i cant afford it.  I cant pay for food this week. They are heartless and will trick anyone

Same thing to the letter. I accepted the terms of the offer, then realized I didn't really have the money. I recieved their paperwork in the mail today and tried to call to cancel. They talked me down to a shorter service by lying and saying the account was not subject to cancellation. Then I got on google and looked up the ftc and international magazine.  
   I called them back.  I was firm. I didn't take no for an answer. I pointed out all the lies each person had told me, from the initial call back from the supervisor to the customer service reps today.
   Lie number 1:  The supervisor said, " We hope you don't cancel".  This implies that you can cancel." Where I was told repeatedly that I could not when speaking with them today.

    Number 2: When I called back after dropping my agreement to 1 year service I was told by a manager that I could not cancel now because I had changed to a 1 year agreement whereas I could have when I was on a 4 year agreement. The lady who changed me from one agreement to the other said I could not cancel even under the 4 year plan.

     There were many other small lies I kept trapping them in but they kept reading their scripts and I kept catching them.
   I also mentioned that their sales tactics were unlawful according to the FTC. This made more than one of the 4 people I talked to today pause.  They start their spiel with offers of free stuff then eventually get around to the pitch. According to my research online, they must pitch you before offering gifts. I found this on FTC.gov.

   Anyway, I let them keep the initial 40 dollars they took as a cancellation fee(I'm such a nice guy), but they cancelled my account. I was on the phone an hour arguing with one guy, then 15 minutes with a woman, on hold for 15 minutes when a manager came on and said, we've decided to cancel you!  LOL!
 
    I feel absolutely stupid for ever talking with a telemarketer, now I'll go change my debit card.

I just received a call from IMC (International Magazine Company).  the call came on my cell phone.  I thought this was strange since I never give my cell number out.  He stated that I was entered in a sweepstake thru my Visa.  This was strange also.  I wasn't entered in any sweepstakes.  I asked how he got my cell number and he said it was thru my Visa.  This is not true.  He went thru the hole thing as in all the other complaints that I have read.  All the offers and all the magazines and the watch.  He stated that he was new.  I tried to call the number and was not able to get anyone.  He had my address and I asked if he had my card number he stated that he didn't.  He called my cell from 727-259-7017.  After I hung up, I immediately called my bank and told them of the call.  I didn't give any card information but my bank has advised me to keep a close eye on my statements to be sure nothing is there that is not familiar.  Good luck to all of you that are fighting to get your money.  (4/20/2010)

IMC is a legimate company with a legitimate service but they do use very clever marketing tactics to rope people in.
I have used this service twice and they both times delivered on their promise with the magazines but coming through with each and every magazine ordered right through to the end. They also ceased automated payments from my accounts at the correct time.
However, I was quite unsatisfied with the "diamond watch" which was just a cheap $5 watch with a miniscule crystal on it and who know what that is. With regards to the sweepstakes I never got specific documentation on it, and it bet that was simply a lottery ticket placed on my behalf.
I won't use them again because of the rubbish they gave me in the introductory offer. I also caution getting involved with such companies because they have a million phone numbers that always change. You can't get to their customer service, instead you get routed to spin-sellers.
Once you sign up, you will find it impossible to get out the contract. I think many of the complaints against this company are from people who got caught in the marketing hype and then had second thoughts and tried to back out. Those above who said they didn't receive magazine, the reson for that is very simple: This company has to make arragments with each magazine company and pay out contracts with them, and then the company sends it to you direct. This process takes time.
Overall, I do not have a problem with IMC and their service. They are legitimate and subject to constructive criticism. However I do warn all consumers against purchasing anything from telemarketers. Its a dangerous world to get involved with.

This is a scam, I have not recieved one magazine from yall and I even sent a certified letter cancelling the order, I even have the green slip from whoever recieved the letter with their signature on it. Now today I recieve a CSI letter from a collection agency in the mail. This is bs. I will get a lawyer if needed.

way to stand up for your company!!!! =D ...stupid B***H

were you sill charged? The same thing happened to me just now an hour ago. The guy told me he was new so i felt bad for him, I heard a beep while we were talking and right then i knew he was recording me and then I tried to hassle information from him but he was speaking so fast I couldn't understand. His name was Cory and he had my address and I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT give them my card number or bank account number. He said he was going to transfer me to his supervisor to confirm my watch order along with the magazines, I kept asking him about the charges but he refused to answer and i got his supervisor. I told the supervisor I wasn't interested, and the [***] had the balls to ask me if i had told that to Cory and why i would want to cancel such a good deal. Dumb [***], why i want to cancel or not is not ur concern! he hung up on me. Now I'm scared they might charge me. Did they charge u even though they didn't have your bank account number???

the numbers some people have posted that they have is wrong it is 1-866-394-9149 they scamed me too. they sent my account to collection im not paying anymore money to them they have already taken enough and the diamond watch is bull they dont even send it to you they just want to take your money.

3665 east bay dr. suite 204 253 largo, fl 33773 good luck they sent me to collection i had my card canceled cause they wouldnt let me cancel the subscription. and i gave them my social what a fool i was.

I just got a letter threatening legal action against me, I closed the account they charged at the bank and now that comes in the mail, I suggest that anyone pressured by this see their state representative or senator, I will be doing that

SCAM...SCAM!!!  File complaints with the BBB (There are already nearly 300 of them filed) and then call the Attorney General's office

Your just sticking up for the company because they pay you. You know what your doing is wrong your company doesnt even have the balls to send written bills contracts confimation nothing. Your company is going down you might as well start looking for a new job.
