Plus now I'm worried it's happening to me. We have been getting an awful lot of magazines lately. I thought my mom was getting me subscriptions but now I don't know... Ack! This sucks!

I have to admint -- the some of these magazines are fun to read, but it's a bit overwhelming to get so many, and then knowing they are attempting to charge me for an "auto renewal" just gets me angry.

It's ridiculous! I hope it all gets straightened out. I’ve had problems with magazine scams like this. It’s ridiculous! I hope it all gets straightened out.

We bought Wiggles tickets through Ticketmaster too - I wonder what wonderful surprises are going to show up in our mailbox? Is that why the "convenience charges" are so high??? I am somehow getting THREE issues of Parenting each month. The local library is very grateful for the donation, but what a waste of trees! And they refuse to take me off the list. Uh-oh.

My husband, of all people, started receiving Health Magazine (for women) and we have had NO IDEA WHY. Good to know that I should make sure we cancel it. This practice seems completely crazy.

I get the trials sometimes, then send in the bill with "cancel" written across. The still don't the the point and keep sending the mag AND the bills threatening me with collections for a friggin magazine I already canceled. In your case, I do think that is fraudulent on their part. They've got you by the short hairs, but you got 'em back with the expired card. SUCKA!

I wrote a really nasty letter to both parties to cancel. I never heard back, although the magazine was canceled. It really, really made me angry.
