I was victimized in a phone scam to buy magizines and was billed for over $900

I was phoned and coaxed into buying magizine subscriptions. I was told that I would only have to pay for one subscription and the others were "Free". The cost was $39.90. Unfortunately they got my credit card number.
Upon recieving the invoice in the mail, I realized that I was being charged $39.90 X 24 payments for over $957. I called and cancelled the credit card immediately.
I then called the customer service number and tried to cancel. I was told that it could not be cancelled once it was ordered, and that I was under a "legally binding contract" because I was "recorded" agreeing to the order.
They have called several more times informing me that if I didn't make payments, I was going to be turned over to a collection agency.
