I too received 2 unordered books from Rodale Books. In fact, my original order for a single book was actually placed with Men's Health Magazine which must either use Rodale Books as a vendor or perhaps they are owned by the same company. About a month after receiving the book that I ordered, I was sent 2 additional books that I did not order and was charged $49. Apparently, there was something in the fine print (or maybe not) that signed me up for some type of recurring book service. Obviously, I was not happy and decided to not pay them or respond to their subsequent monthly bills. After some time, I received a collection notice from Takhar Collection Services, LTD located in Niagara Falls, NY. The notice from Takhar basically stated that my past due account would be reported to the credit bureaus within 30 days if I did not pay for the books. Do you think this made me even more upset with Rodale and their SCAM of a business model? You betcha ... I can only guess, but I bet that many people actually pay for the unsolicited books and/or pay the collection agency ... if it gets this far ... just to be done with Rodale and their underhanded business model. These guys should be ashamed of themselves and their approach to business. It may be legal but it borders on a SCAM and bully tactics to get people to pay for merchandise that they never wanted. NEVER EVER buy anything from RODALE BOOKS and for that matter ... make sure that you NEVER EVER buy a book from Men's Health Magazine either. You will likely end up in the same trap that I (and many others) did. Also ... be aware and NEVER EVER buy any books from these Rodale affiliated companies either. They are all listed on the Rodale.com website under customer service and therefore probably use the same tactics.
