Engaging Story by a young African-American man who said he was from Louisiana. Said he had been in trouble but now he had been selling these magazines for the last 9 years and it's kept him off the streets. He did mention that my neighbor two doors down bought $300 worth, 3 magazines per month for three years, but had them sent to the women's shelter. This is what set the hook, is that would be something my neighbor would do. After giving this young guy a check for $120, I called my neighbor who said he had made no such purchase and had told the guy, "no deal"". I wish I had. Now it looks like I'll spend tomorrow dealing with the bank to stop the check. Totally a sales scam. read more

Only gave one star because no star isn't an option. Complete scam! They send people Who know how to sell, very charismatic and friendly, only to steal from you. It's a shame those people are using their talent of being able to sell you something in a somewhat cool and entertaining way only, to at the end of the day, literally steal from you. ( I guess that on its own is a talent as well) We Ordered a children's book back in Feb and still nothing, tried calling a billion times no answer. Left messages, no answer. One time I actually had someone answer and they told me to call back if I don't receive it by May, and as of now, June 13, still nothing. I'm going to report them. I have the receipt they gave me which has some info, so maybe someone with some authority can deal with them. I'm considering this purchase a loss, we're out $65 cause it seems I will never get the book or money back. Whatever you do, don't fall into their trick. As a matter of fact, if they ever show up, call the cops and let them know a robbery is about to take place. read more

Scammers. Great story and want to help someone. I knew I was over paying for the magazines, but I never got a single one. If they show up in your area, call the law. read more

I feel bad if the young woman who came to my door was telling me the truth. I researched this company, Second Chance 1 LLC, everything on the internet says its a scam. Who is the victim, her or me? I was able to put a stop payment on my check. She stated that she was from Louisiana, came here after Katrina. Trying to make a better life for her kids. She even showed me a check that a neighbor wrote for $334 for 36 months of magazine subscriptions that were donated to local Battered Women's Shelter. So, if a person donates the subscription and it takes 90-120 days for subscription to start, how would I ever know if that's where my money actually went?? I always want to help when and where I can, just don't take advantage of me. Don't mistake my kindness for weakness. I'm mad at myself for being sucked into giving her a check. read more

Had a weak moment and decided to buy a magazine subscription from Second Chance, LLC. Unfortunately, the magazine never arrived and I am reminded as to why I shouldn't succumb to people who sell things door-to-door. Stay away from these folks! read more

This business is a complete fraud. They send youth to your door to purchase a set of books and/or magazines and promise delivery in about 3 months. After that time you ANEVER hear from them, when you try to contact them it takes a threat. Then you get the option of still waiting for the books or your refund, which never comes. I have reported them to the BBB, waiting for answers now. I beg of you to broadcast this to all your friends. Do not use them!!!!! read more
