Sheriff's Office Receiving Complaints Against KLMN Readers Inc.

Jul 27, 2015 - 5:40am

The El Paso County Sheriff's Office has received numerous complaints about a group that is attempting to sell magazines door to door in unincorporated El Paso County.  Complaints range from rude and intimidating behavior to making inappropriate and profane comments about the occupants of residences, peering in windows and not promptly leaving after being told to do so.

This group has been identified as "KLMN Readers Inc."  They are listed as being based out of Chesapeake, VA, and being a "second chance" job opportunity for persons who have had criminal charges against them in the past.

The Sheriff's Office is aware that the Better Business Bureau has received hundreds of complaints against this organization.  The Better Business Bureau rates KLMN Readers Inc. as an "F."  It also sites an 8/24/2014 case where KLMN Readers Inc. plead guilty to violations of the Virginia Consumer Protection Act and the Virginia Home Solicitation Sales Act. They were fined $38,647.40
