MTS India — Cheating And Improper service

I purchased a MTS connection and recharged with Rs 999 unlimited plan which offer 12 gb at 3.1 Mbps and then unlimited at 1x speed. After using around 10 gb it stopped working with 10 days left in validty. After calling 17 times and raising complaint 5 times I wasted nearly Rs 250 and no satisfactory action was taken from their side. Now on expiration of validity it started working. They assured to extend the validity for the duration it was not working but still there is no action regarding this. My MTS no. is [protected]. Two of the complaint nos are dec9430, dec15187.

Kindly take suitable action regarding this.

I bought magazines for my grandson from a young man that claimed he was trying to win a trip to help better his education, im a disabled lady and i feel i have been ripped off. I ordered this back in February and i still have not received anything yet. Receipt # 141832, Maybe its time to look futher into this to get my money back!!!

I had immediately looked up online and found all these complaints. Stopped payment on check, filled out a police report and now have to change my bank account because in fear of identity theft. They are a total scam with very convincing young men selling these subscriptions. The phone number given to me was bogus and totally out of state area code which sent off the red flag. DO NOT BE HAD BY THESE "college" students.

MTS Circulation LLC (MTSCIRC.COM) IS A SCAM! Do not waste your time or money. I had a young African american man come door to door to offer magazines. He was stating that it would help him with school and that he was trying to take some sort of a trip.

I picked out a few magazines that would be good for my 4 year old son and wife to enjoy. The order was placed on 12/27/10 and has never arrived. When I went on the companies website, it only had a cheap form to fill out and did not look legit. There is no phone number to contact and I am sure, I will not see the $49.00 that was stolen from me.

The unfortunate part about this, is I will no longer give my trust to any door-to-door sales person again.

This company solicits young adults into prostitution --they promise these kids to travel around the world only top beat them and pimp them out!!

I spent 150 on these books from the young girls who came to the door. I have communicated with mts circulation via web site. they told me the books would be mailed mon. my niece just received one book today!
If she dosen't recieve the rest soon I'd like to do something about this fraud! Any iedeas?

I bought a magazine for my husband for Christmas and have not recieved it. Isnt there some way we can sue them?

You might try The Better Business bureau of Arizona.. At least that is where my receipt shows their office is. I'm calling them first thing in the morning.. If it is a scam they made out like bandits in our small town of Whitewater ks. Will post results tomorrow night

Same story here in the Los Angeles basin - Jan 23, 2011 was date of sale & nothing yet

i bought some magazines for my son on 12 - 8 - 10, from a young man that stated he will win a trip to italy... thought i could help buying so he could get his points... i was scamed ... have not recived anything up to today may 18 2011.
$57, dollares and no number to call. how sad that some people will do something like that, i will never trust in door to door sales people!!! this was in riverside ca

6/4/11
We were almost scammed, we gave two young girls a check for $35 and $20 cash for 36 children's books to be sent to Johns Hopkins Hospital. At first they wanted all cash, they said it gives them extra points for this trip they want to go on. That should have been the first red flag but we gave it to them anyway. They were very sweet, complimentary, and fast talking. As soon as they left we got on the Internet and checked out the web site on MTS. Nothing but complaints! My husband headed for the RV Park office and saw the two girls at one of the RV sites. He confronted them and told them the company has a bad reputation and then asked for our check and cash back. He got it. The park management then told the girls, no more soliciting in the park. Seems they are going from RV park to RV park for sales. From now on, NO THANKS to every salesperson, no matter what it is for...

We just had a young man come to our door here in Denver, CO. Smooth talker and same story about earning money to win a trip to Italy. My husband was going to order a 2 year subscription to a magazine which started out to be $40 but after handling fees it was $55... I asked who to make the check out and and just happened to be on the web checking out some stuff so thought I would just go ahead and check out the legitimacy of MTS Circulations... Well saw all the SCAM alerts and BBB complaints and quickly ripped up my check and told the young man sorry but no sale. I hope no one else falls for this... We almost did...

I am feeling angry that i was scammed and wrote a check for 55.oo also, and was promised childrens books in 5 weeks, still nothing. I have left 2 messages with this MTS CIRCULATION AND STILL NOTHING!i am going to look into this more and perhaps contact the authoritys!Be careful out there.Scam Alert

Here is some information I found reguarding the company with a little research. I found documents linked to a Mark Shumate in Az. phone number [protected]. He in turn sent me to a office person who is now looking into my order. Alternate phone numbers are [protected] fax [protected]
Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.

Thank you mra1. Mark Shumate owns the business. I called the 888 number, which is for a company called Fulfillment Services. They are the middle man between the sales company and the magazine companies. They had my order on file and told me it takes 120 day or less, which is in the fine print of the receipt. If the magazines don't show up then call them back and they will call whatever magazine you ordered. I have dealt with Fulfillment Services before for my elderly mother when she ordered too many magazines or the magazines kept sending her bills for more years. This is not a scam, but the kids need better training.

This just happened to me in Weston, WV yesterday (8/4/2011)... The girl was all nice and told me that she earned point towards earning college money and that I could even donate a subscription to military personnel. The police showed up right after I handed her a check for $55. She kept wanting to come in the house & I kept saying no. The officer informed me that there had been 14 complaints the day before & that they were soliciting illegally. He informed this girl (on my front porch) that she needed to stop what she was doing or be arrested. She got very angry and started saying nasty things to me and told the officer to [censored] off... He then asked her where the rest of her group was and she said she didn't know of anyone else.

Later that evening I saw her 3 more times walking by my house and then sitting with a young man on the corner of my street @ dark. I was actually afraid they were going to do something to my property or myself. She knew I was home alone & she knew which vehicles were mine in the driveway...Be warned people!!! Shut the door, lock it & call the police!!

Scammers. They got 4 checks from us, we asked for them back, they said, NO. They called their supervisor and she said NO, as well. She said they would be charged for the forms they filled out. We were scared, called our parents, they had us call the bank and stop payment on the checks. Since we asked for our checks back and were refused, they were considered STOLEN, so we were not charged any fee for Stop Payment. In hindsight I would not have given them anything and should have called the police to get my money back. Beware!

I got conned today. Two handsome, smooth-talking and flirtatious young men came to my door explaining some contest they were in whereby they get to go to Italy if they win. It's selling magazines but it's a charity see, tax deductible (or so I was told). You order magazines that will be sent to one of our troop members. They have great ratings by the BBB I was told. I wrote a couple of checks thinking I was helping these kids, the troops, and getting a tax deduction! Normally I'm not so gullible and it would have been way easier to get rid of them if they'd called me on the phone. After they left I went online to research the company, MTS Circulation, and found tons of reports about them being a scam. I checked the BBB and not only are they not accredited, but the BBB rates them as an "F" -- again tons o[censored]nresolved complaints. I called my bank immediately and put a stop payment on the checks. Expensive lesson -- each stop payment cost $30.

I got conned yesterday ...Same story as most of the ones above, friendly girl trying to earn a trip to Ireland...wish I would have looked up MTS circulation before I wrote the check...learned a $30 lesson (stop payment on check).

My son was 19 years old and decided to work for MTS Circulation in Sept. 2011. The help ad was very appealing so he took the bait. My son was arrested twice and charged for soliciting without a permit that he did not know he was suppose to have. Both times he was bailed out, but the company did not take him to the hearings. We have already went to Hamburg, NY two weeks ago for a charge and he was fined. Last week I received the other charge from Lockhaven, NY and they also have a warrant for his arrest. Again, this is because the company does not care about these unsuspecting youth who put their trust in them to take care of them. Two other young men were arrested as well. This is rediculous!

These youth are innocent thinking it is a great opportunity to travel and make good money. The youth are taken from city to city and stay in a hotel. They are driven to communities outside of where they are staying and dropped off and told to meet the van in that spot at 8:00 p.m. They work alone for eight hours and have no idea where they are. What a dangerous position to put these young women and men in. This company is a joke and are using youth to solicit magazines without permits. When my son questioned them he was told they can't afford the permits because of all the cities they work in and it takes too long to get them. They only stay in the city a week at a time. I myself ordered A Taste of Home magazine at the cost of $55 for 2 years. I thought I was helping my son out and I got ripped off.

There has to be a way to make this company be responsible for there inconsiderate actions and to stop pimping our youth to make money. I will contact the Better Business Bureau in Arizona. Short of hiring a lawyer, I don't know what else to do.

Oh my god! Same thing...2 young people, 1 young man, 1 young woman. Fast talking, trying to take a trip to Italy. Subscriptions going to military overseas. Then the bill of $55.00. My husband said no way! I wrote a check for a $10.00 donation, which I will stop payment on! I thought I was pretty savvy and street smart... Look out Whittier, CA for these young adults being used and trying to use you!!

I thought I was pretty savvy, too, but I guess I'm still naive! Young man came to the door, books and magazines for children's literacy, I'm thinking, "Great I was thinking about getting a subscription anyway AND I'm helping people." Totally pulled on my heartstrings, I feel like such a fool! Even asked for his ID, and still convinced myself it wasn't sketchy. Anyway, wrote a check for $55, then saw all the complaints on the internet. Luckily the bank was able to transfer my funds and close the account, so they won't get any $$ from me. Hopefully, they won't use my name or identity for anything now that I gave them a SIGNED CHECK! Can ya tell I feel like an for this one? As Judge Judy says, "No good deed goes unpunished."

So Oklahoma can be added to the list of being scammed - the girl I wrote the check to was so sweet, saying how it WAS scary to be out there in the dark alone in a city she didn't know etc... I almost didn't buy anything - but we just kept chatting away and I got suckered. $59 - not alot but I just got a new job, really didn't have the money, but wanted to help her and save myself one less stop for Christmas shopping and got some books for my daughter. She swore they would call me first of course to verify I was who I said I was because the girl said some of the kids doing this had put false information and they just want to make sure I did agree to the check and so on - plus that way it would give me a heads up on when the check would be cashed. Just checked my account - the money already went through and that had me upset - so I came online to send the company an email - only to see nothing but scams pop up. So needless to say, I got suckered. And I'm out the money I guess. It's sad that there really are people like that in this world. Learned my lesson though!!!

I ordered books for my grandsons on 9/14/11 as of today 1/10/12 have not received anything and have tried to contact MTS Circulation with no response... order # M 220856

omg I was thinking that I was the only one with this problem. I gave a check to this students stating that they were trying to raise money for something. I bought these books for 65.00 in November. I have still yet to receive anything. My husband is extremely angry and I feel stupid. I just don't know what to do about it now. I have sent at least four 'contact me' requests to these people and all they keep saying is that there is a no refund policy. I could kick myself right now. Talk about learning from your mistakes!!
If anyone else is looking into reporting and sueing this company for their money back, I want in. They really need to be stopped.

so just call the cops & the 888 number now my book should be here in 2 weeks from today & called the cops on the 2 young men who left my house 1 who happen to be very mouthy DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY THEY WILL ROB YOU BLIND!

sorry had to copy this post

I got a order whiched cost 65 bucks and never got it ! This young girl saying that she wanted to go to Italy and she was a special Ed student not saying anything bad but she seem sweet and nice so my wife and I gave in an said sure why not! Na idea I tired contracting them no phone number no nothing so they suck I wish I never ordered anything from them there scam artist and they deserve everything the law can do to them

Well Lexington, SC has been hit. A young man named Jordan just came to our door with the same story saying we could even donate some books to the children's hospital. As soon as he left we canceled the check and put a warning on Facebook.

Same scam story as most of these people. The phone numbers I found here in this thread don't seem to work. Any other info out there?

I forgot to check that I AGREE that this is a scam.

A young fast smooth talking and very funny young man came to my door 03/09/12 here in Henderson, NV. He asked me some questions that were none of his business (but claimed that the answers help get him points for a trip to Brazil I believe). I thought red flag it seemed like he was trying to find out how many people and what kind of animals were in my home. So I told him some half truths and picked out two items for my kids. He then told me that my bill would be $103. I apologized to him and said I didn't have the cash and then he stated that I could pay with a check. I told him that I don't write checks. Then I asked him if I could complete the transaction online and he claimed that he would not receive credit for the transaction if I did. He kept telling me that my husband and I would get the money back when we filed our taxes. I told him no and he walked away looking defeated. In most cases I try to be nice (especially when it involves young people who are trying to do things with their lives) but after this experience I will no longer attempt to help out. The answer will be no thank you (and that's IF I decide to answer the door).

Same thing happened to me in Manteca, Ca. I am out 55.00 for the subscription I never got. A very cute and bubbly teenage girl came to the door selling magazines. She claimed she was trying to win a trip to Italy... I will NEVER buy anything from anyone that comes to my door again. I am angry and mad at myself for being so gulable!!!

Yes They are located in Phoenix, I reserached them and they are right off Happy valley and 39th Ave.

My family did something similar, using the business account they attempted to do something nice for me and the kids as well as to win the nice young girl a trip to italy. However the books for me and the kids have yet to arrive and ontop of that i lost $400 to the point now that my account is overdrawn. I am now in the process of trying to close the account just to keep myself out of debt.

Forgot to check I agree with this complaint as well

i was scammed i bought some books for my grandson in march my order number is m325403 i have been trying to contact this company for awhile 65.00 dollars is a lot of money they called me and left a message on my phone when i tried to call the phone number back it was not a good phone number i was stupid i learned my lesson. you are pothedic for using childern to get money from hard working people get a life and a real job loser.

M325403 I have a grandson that is getting ready to start school so I thought these books would be good to have for him. I paid $65 for the books. Who ever came up with this scam needs to get a real job that doesn't involve stealing hard working peoples money. You are pathetic and a loser. You are so pathetic that you have to use children to get money. I've learned my lesson and will never do it again even if it is for a child goes to show you can't trust anyone. They called and confirmed that the check was in the bank. Left a message to call them back and when I did call back the number was disconnected.
