Being charged for a magazine I didn't order
Complaint

Woman's Day keep sending magazines I didn't order. I have written notes in with my bill. Telling them please stop sending me bills or magazines anymore but it doesn't help. I need a number to call. It's not money I would pay it just to get it stopped. But on my bill they will keep sending it because I'm on a continuing automatically renewal subscription. HOW!

You can file fraud complaints with FTC, your state Attorney General, and the US Postal Inspector. With fraudulent accounts, it is wise to do so, since these scam companies
Magazine cramming scams usually use common consumer magazines, often targeting women as more likely victims.
emails. How do they get away with it. I will never subscribe to them again. Presently researching the proper authorities to complain to.
