Last night at about 8 pm some punk who said he was 25 knocked on my door. Tried to sell me and my wife some magazines. He told us the same stories that everyone else has mentioned above. About the points and getting a trip to London and he would send us a post card. We were like we don't want a post card. He said if we didn't want to buy magazine's we could donate money for books to be sent to children's hospitals. When we refused that he got really upset and asked if we didn't like kids. It didn't feel right the entire time but once he made the comment about kids I knew it wasn't legit. He even bragged about all the magazine's he had sold to my neighbors showing me an envelope full of cash and checks. I'll talk to my neighbors about it soon. They’re in Fredericksburg, VA.

My wife was home with our kids when these 2 young boys basically conned her into buying two magazine subscriptions for 110.00 each! This company goes under the name of A.C.E inc well when i found out how much money my wife spent on these magazines she was already in the process of trying to get our money back. Well this happened before christmas and here we are almost at the end of Jan and they have not refunded our money. So i look up this company and find a article from a guy who apparently worked for these clowns and that they basically treat them like slave labor. I am retired military and they was saying that these magazines were going to soldiers LIE! I would not have minded not getting my money back as long as that is where these magazines was going. Needless to say i am about to start pursuing these clowns! I repeat on what a lot of others have said on here do not by magazines from these people. Especially A.C.E inc and whatever other scammers are out there. I'm sure there are legit sales companys out there but do your research before you purchase a subscription so you don't get scammed like my wife did.

The sales girl was pushy and was going to Cancun for a trip if she got enough points. Hey, I've never been to Cancun! Nobody's giving me a trip! I did this a few years ago and did receive the magazines. DSS's website is not answering e-mails although after you press "submit" they assure you that a REAL PERSON will contact you shortly. I've been writing for a week now after I found the receipt and realized how much money I spent. The website has an e-mail, a "contact form," and a fax number. No phone number. Next time I'll ask the kids when I get a trip to someplace fun like Cancun. I have been waiting for five months for my stupid magazines.

I was very polite and chatted with her outside my door, and she didn't even show me her magazine "stock" and after I told her I was broke (which I am), she left. The prize was a trip to Italy, and when she said she would take me with her I almost brought her into the house and made her a cup of tea. I wanted to call her parents. She was the most miserable young woman I have ever seen, and she looked like she hadn't slept in days. I had a young lady come to my door a few days ago.

I purchased against my better judgment. I looked into the matter further after the salesman left and found this blog. I canceled the check soon after despite the receipt saying I would be charged if I did. They have not taken any money from my account. Therefore, I assume the warning of charging my account was just to prevent me from canceling the check before they could cash it. The salesman was Kevin Trumblay from Florida, or something like that.
