Urban Nation Consumer Reviews - Page 2

WILLIS, ARIZONA -- An agent of Urban Nation came down our driveway and asked us to donate money to help provide inner city, poor children with books. We gave $160. When checked online for more info, I found that they were not a charity and the paperwork they gave us was not fully completed. I send certified mail and called numerous time but never got a reply or a call back. We wanted paperwork for the tax write off but as they are not a charity, none is available. We were cheated out of our money and who knows where it went. This company goes after kind hearted people and deceives them. I have filed a complaint with the Tucson Attorney General.

HONOLULU, HAWAII -- Urban Nation is definitely a scam. A man came to my door, very slick. Told me he was from the south, he had a family he was trying to support. He had come out of the ghetto and was trying to make a life for himself. He was selling magazine subscriptions. Even told me to look on the computer at their website and I called the phone #. He wanted me to purchase over $300 worth of magazines. I ended up giving him a check for $150 for 3 magazines. Haven't seen a single magazine--he came in April 2008. It is now almost September, 2008. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE PEOPLE. IT IS A SCAM. I PLAN TO LOOK INTO THIS AND FILE A COMPLAINT.

WILLIS, TEXAS -- This is the 3rd time that I've made the mistake of purchasing magazines door-to-door from this rip-off company. Shame on me! They use street-smart kids to make their sales, and then cash the check and a publication never comes. I'm going to complain to the Utah Division of Consumer Affairs, the Fraud Division of the State Attorney General's Office, and everywhere else that I can. Scam artists who take advantage of young kids to sell and then never any product received.
