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.
They took my informations, and signed me up for magazines and a free watch, but they didnt tell me about the weekly price, and when i said no, they hung up on me
I never signed up for this, i called the number and asked to cancel my subscription, the lady said it was cancelled and i will get a refund in 3-5 bussiness days, we will see if it works
Apparently, I've been subscribed to multiple magazines without my consent. The saga began with US Weekly, which I promptly cancelled, yet I was still charged $5.96. Following this, I started receiving Maxim, and after cancelling that as well, the subscriptions seemed to cease. However, the emergence of Golf Digest has raised suspicions. Upon contacting them, I was informed that the subscription was initiated by a 'third party' known as SUBCO. I have expressed my concerns to Golf Digest's customer service, and they are investigating the matter. Meanwhile, I've alerted my bank to prevent potential fraudulent charges.
If you recieve magazines you havent ordered and then get lots of calls saying you owe money, dont pay for them or give them any personal informations, instead call the magazine publishers directly
This is clearly a scam, as they ask you to verify your credit card number to supposedly reduce your payments, but if you didn't give it to them, they shouldn't have it, so it's best to contact your credit card company directly if you notice any suspicious charges.
They claim i never cancelled my account and they want me to pay them, but i cancelled the next day and its been almost a year so its a scam
I've been recieving calls from National Reader Service, claiming that I have a subscription, but I never autorized any charges or requested any magazines, and they're saying I'm past the cancellation period and will be billed $59.90 a month, which is ridiculous.
I didnt recieve a call but i think this is the magazine company my husband ordered from, they keep sending us magazines we dont read and charge us 12 bucks a month
Discovering an unauthorized charge on a dormant credit card for magazine subscriptions led to concerns about fraud, especially considering the claim that the card was used in person, which seems improbable. This situation necessitates contacting the FTC.
I fell for a scam, they promisd me 7 subscriptions and 2 plane tickets, but it was all a lie, and now I'm trying to cancel the transaction
The company associated with this number was contacted by the user, not the other way around, as it was listed on their credit card statement.
After refinding the number, I've decided to share my experience, so please take a moment to read my entire story
A call was received on the 3rd, and in error, believing it was for someone else, debit card information was shared, resulting in two unauthorized payments within a span of two days.
I had just settled things with another magazine i was having trouble with, and a few month later this magazine company called me, saying i didnt actually cancel the account, it was just postponed.
Apparently, we recieve alot of calls from a individual claiming to be from the NRS, my husband dont usually answer the phone cause he's at work, the lady have a clear english accent and is kinda rude
I got caught up with this scam, i was thinkin i was doing somethin good, but then they ask me for my social secutiry number and i refuse to give it to them, so i gave them my debit card instead, which was a stupid thing to do, after i got off the phone i start doing the math and realise that according to them i'd be paying close to 1500 bucks for magazines, seems pretty out there so i look them up and then i saw they were a scam.
I was deceived into giving my debit card number after receiving a call from 310-634-1710, but fortunately, I reported it immediately and disputed the charges.
Given the circumstances, it seems prudent to cancel your credit card, as the potential consequences of not doing so could be severe, and a slightly lower credit score is a lesser evil compared to financial ruin
One possible course of action is to cancel and then contact the three major credit bureaus to request a notation on your credit report about this company's activities
Havent heard from them in about 2 years, now ther's a pending transaction on my account, cant get ahold of them, says its customer service but noboddy answers, its a rip off
This is a HUGE SCAM that will costs you, they did the same thing to me 5 years ago and charged my credit card, thankfully she cancelled the renewal and credited my account
Be cautious of this number as it appartently is a scam dont be decieved
This is clearly a scam, i recieved a call from them last night and they told me that if i didnt pay, they would report it to my credit report, but luckily i only lost $5
Magazine scams often operate this way, but it's possible to cancel contracts and obtain refunds due to the deceptive means used
After resolving previus financial difficulties, a suprise call was recived while at work, the caller sucessfully posed as a legitamate company, now there are concens about potential credit damage due to a posible scam.
I stupidly gave them my card info, they called about a million dollar sweepstakes and a magazine subscription, my fiance's gonna kill me, i'm freaking out.
If you cancel your credit card that you gave them, efect on your credit rating dont seem to be a problem, they will just move on to the next person
My 19-year-old fell victim to National Readers Service; For guidance on navigating this scam, refer to my blog for suggestions and advice.
I am experiencing the same issue with this number and regret getting involved in the first place.
I've been trying to cancel a subscription that I never ordered, but they wont let me, its very frustraiting and I dont know what to do.
