Publishers Subscription Center ripoff fraud business - Sends out fake and deceptive looking invoices Watch for this company! Silver Spring Maryland
Watch for this company. Its a old con designed to get those who don't any better, especially small business that don't monitor what bills they are paying. Its for massively overpriced magazine subscriptions and renewals.
Their offer looks exactly like a bill or invoice and could easily get paid if your business doesnt have good account controls in place to watch for these types of vermin and scumbags.
They sent me a fake invoice trying to get $180 for a three year Forbes subscription. What a deal! Thats only twice as much as the standard rate from the publisher!
These scumbags for Publishers Subscription Center aren't even very good at their con. They list no phone number or website on the so called "invoice" and use a PMB (postal mailbox box - i.e. a Mailboxes etc. or similar) to hide behind.

I have some information for you to help you dispute you bill. Upon checking, I found that their main company name is Publishers Magazine Service, their main offices address is 5445 Main Street #201 Stephens City, VA 22655 and their number is 757-533-9525 ask for a Mr. Gordon Smith, he is supposed to be the supervisor of customer service. Rather he is or not, I can't say.
You should also notify the Maryland Attorney General's Office, since the bill came from Maryland. Their email is OAG@oag.state.md.us and their address is 200 St. Paul Place Baltimore, MD 21202.
I hope this information helps you and others that have been scammed by this company. Good Luck!
