i did this through Steinmart Dept Store, it is the biggest mess, i cannot get out of paying for magazines
Often these scams sell some worthless "service", but even if there is some value, as with a magazine, this type of scam typically depends on interfering with consumers who might want to cancel, either by counting on you not having any way to contact them to cancel, or even by using "confusion" or other deceptive tactics to evade attempts to cancel.
Dispute unauthorized charges through your bank as FRAUDULENT, and file fraud complaints with FTC, your state Attorney General, and BBB.
Nothing is "free". Anyone who wants to sell you something "free" is out to con you.

Dispute fraudulent charges through your bank, and close your account due to fraud to prevent additional fraudulent charges. Your bank can reverse fraudulent charges disputed within 60 days of the statement date of the statement showing the disputed charge, under FRB Reg. E or FCBA, so you may be able to get back 2 to 3 months of charges.
File fraud complaints with FTC, and your state Attorney General.
You know you canceled a year ago, so their recent charge is fraudulent.
File a fraud dispute with your bank, and this time have them close the account or block the card number, or they might try to slip through another charge next year. Your bank can reverse unauthorized or fraudulent charges if your dispute within 60 days of the statement date of the statement showing the disputed charge.
Do not let them run out this 60 day dispute window with empty promises, since bank disputes are the only sure way to recover your money when you are dealing with this type of scam.
Really easy to cancel if they have not charged you yet. Not sure if they will automatically refund what I was charged for People magazine, but hopefully.
no charges , they said.
but failed to say it's a long time contract with charges.
they lie through omission.!
in the store the lady had to call the 800 number and extricate my wife's
orders (3 mags) and they had her ATM CARD number,"stored"
consider that, your personal ATM checking and savings number being
shared with publishers..... what scam and very bad security issue.
we will vote with our feet and shop at other no scam stores.
Bye SteinMart. no second chances.
