While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

This Focus is the biggest scam. I have already said that I have never received a magazine and I have never subscribed to this. I don't even speak German and have only found out about this when I received mail asking to pay 350 Euro. This is a joke that I get nothing from them and now getting calls from Debt collector, How does this country allow people to get exploited ike this.
Censorship at will. It's arbitrary how they deny publishing comments, regardless of how carefully and objectively one phrases them. Conversely, nasty and aggressive insults and ad hominem attacks on fellow readers are published with gusto. They're enabling the ruling class in Germany, they discredit any analytical thought, let alone criticism. They do the exact opposite what media are supposed to do, which is to keep an eye on the politicians in charge.
This magazine is a SCAM, please stay away and be careful. They use pop up windows to make you sign up for the subscription.People like me who do not understand the language do not know what they are clicking on the pop up windows.
They send me magazines to a subscription that I did not want, I do not even speak German in order to be able to understand the writing to begin with. They billed me for subscriptions. I wanted to clarify the issue but they did not respond to my email from July 30th, 2024 and instead PVZ contact me with a crazy high fee. I am not sure what they are doing, but shame on them. There should be some legal entity in Germany which should protect people from them.
Edit
Pzv changed their decision, so it's all better now, everything is canceled, and am satisfied. Hence the new rating

hey work together with pzv, scam company and sending you magazines you never ordered. they confirmed i never ordered magazine, and im not their "abonnent" but sent me to contact their subcontractor
both companies should be held accountable for these scams, including you from Focus, because you know what it's all about, and your subcontractors, the company that does the dirty work for you
