Surprisingly, the same toll‑free number shows up in dozens of complaints about unwanted magazine deliveries. The pattern points to a coordinated scam that uses a third‑party called Subco to slip subscriptions onto unsuspecting consumers’ credit‑card statements. If you spot an unfamiliar charge, contact your card issuer immediately and request a cancellation and a fraud alert. Keep a written record of every call, including dates, names, and the exact wording they use. File a report with the FTC and your state’s consumer protection office. Finally, consider placing a do‑not‑call request on your number to reduce future nuisance calls.
I was sent two magazines from Good Housekeeping, which I later discovered were part of a larger scam involving Subco and Millennium Marketing, using the 'Can you hear me' tactic to deceive recipients.
The recipient contacted Subco and received helpful service, resolving issues with complimentary subscriptions and unwanted magazines.
Earlier this year, I encountered a similar issue with unwanted magazine subscriptions, which were automatically enrolled through a clearinghouse, resulting in random publications being sent to me.

ESPN told me to contact you guys to cancel this magazine I didnt order, so dont send me any more
My dad has been receiving several magazines, including Harpers BAZAAR, O the Oprah Magazine, Redbook, and Cosmopolitan, that he never ordered.
You should contact the company you want to cancel with, this site is for helping people identifi unknown phone numbers, it's not afiliated with the company that called you.
Cancellation is now my request, please assist me with this matter.
I'm struggling to find someone to cancel these magazine subscriptions, could you please share the phone number?
If they claim you have more credit cards on your account, you should definatly contact the credit reporting agencies to ensure your identy hasnt been stolen...

Following similar experiences, I have compiled steps to address issues with Subco Inc and National Reader's Service, which took me several months to figure out.
Unfortunately, I provided my credit card number to these individuals, thinking I was participating in a survey, and later tried to cancel the unwanted magazine subscription.
My experience with this number is part of a larger narrative.
It appears the same company is still engaged in deceitful activities; I recently ended a call with them, having fallen prey to their tactics despite initial reservations about scams, and was informed by a new representative, Stephanie, that I would be entered into a sweepstakes and subscribed to four magazines at $4.99 weekly, with an option to change selections later, but the supervisor revealed a 33-month commitment at $39.31 monthly
