I was contacted by the Magazine Club (also known as Magazine Connections) in November and they implied that they were the other magazine subscription company I had been dealing with (more or less successfully) for a few years. They wanted me to refinance my subscription program to shorten the payment schedule, which I did, and at the same time I complained that I had not been getting the magazines I requested.
When the bill began to arrive, it was only slightly different from the bill of the other company, but I could see that this was a completely different company and a completely new account. They happened to call again in April and I complained that I had been misled and on top of that was not getting the magazines I wanted. They said pretty much, "Too bad, " and that they could prove by a recording that I knew what I was getting into. They then said the cancellation fee would be almost $400.
I told them I had been swindled, but they said their lawyers could prove that I got what I wanted.
Avoid dealing with Magazine Connections or Magazine Club at all costs.
