Subco inc Subco Inc. Mailing unsolicitied magazine subscriptions Internet
I've received several magazine subscriptions without subscribing to them so I contacted one of the magazines to question and cancel this order, they say 'So sorry, but this was
generated by Subco Inc. so you must contact them at 800-258-3350 to
cancel.' I find it interesting that magazine and cannot cancel a subscription
that they themselves are mailing out to a customer.
A call to Subco in Fresno, CA, receives a response that this order was
generated by Millenium Marketing as a free trial offer. Subco will
cancel the subscription if I like, but 'I may continue to receive issues
for a short time because the mailing labels are all preprinted.'
That's an interesting statement since my mailing address is printed
directly on the front of the magazine. I did request a cancellation and
will be watching closely to see if I receive additional issues and a
resulting bill for this unsolicited subscription. I'm wondering how
long it will be before I also start getting calls in an attempt to
collect on this bill when it is never paid.
Based upon other complaints I've been able to locate, I am of the
opinion that the magazine publishers, Millennium Marketing, and Subco
Inc. are all in collusion to generate unsolicited subscriptions and make
the 'cancellation process' multi-tiered in the hopes that an
unsuspecting or preoccupied 'customer' will just pay the subscription
invoice to make a prospective problem go away. This is consumer fraud.
