I received notices to renew my subscriptions to Discover and National Geographic magazines. both of whom I order from directly. Glad I read about them on the Better Business Bureau’s site. They wanted about $30 for each magazine.

Received renewal notice for Entertainment Weekly that I have never subscribed to, this is a full blown scam to get money from unsuspecting individuals. They need to be shut down. Share this information with anyone you know to be aware of what this company is doing.

Please cancel my subcrip[tion to Southern Living $29.98

Steven J Vande is the CEO of this scam company. Just received an invoice for TV Guide for my mother, who has been dead for 10 years. She would have been 91. So they are knowingly trying to scam elders.

I have received a statement from PMB PACIFIC MAGAZINE BILLING LLC for 22-issues Entertainment Weekly which I have never received $79.95

I received the same renewal bill and I never requested the magazine to begin with.

We receive a subscription billing for one year The Economist magazine which we did not subscript at all. The billing amount is $179.95 or installment of $89.98.

I received a renewal form from Pacific Magazine Billing, LLC for a 3 year subscription November 1, 2019 to Readers Digest which I paid $74.95 and have not received any of the magazines. Cannot reach the phone number that is on the internet. I want a refund, what can I do?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Got a offer to sign up for woman’s day magazine. I sent in check in April 2020 and to date have not received any magazines. Bank can’t help so I’ve tried to reach out to woman’s day. I’ve realized now it’s a scam!

On april 3 I called my credit card to check balance and notice the there was 89.98 take out. I called my bank and the told me it was extreme performance and gave me the number they never said they were a magazine I filed a claim with my bank. And they told me I have to file a police report. Well I just got a bill in my mail box from pub Pacific magazine billing. They are the one who took my money and it says I owe them 179.95. What can I do? I need help

I paid for one year subscription on two instalments each $34 on 3/6 and 4/3/2020 assuming that they are represent Time Magazine. I did receive anything yet. I tried to contact them on Tel no 888 590 0030 vainly. I will try to check with the bank for possible reverse the payments.

I received a invoice from Pacific Magazine Billing for a 2 year renewal for Southern Living Magazine. I paid in 2 installments. I just received another invoice and called the company to inquire why. I was told to flip the invoice over and read the back which states that the invoice is really not an an invoice. Who cashed my checks? I called Southern Living who had no knowledge of this company. Why isn’t the Better Business Bureau shutting this scam down!

Just sent me a notice for Southern Living. $90 for 26 issues. I just renewed a four 1 year (13 issues) for $5 through Amazon. They are trying to scam people. And if you aren’t savvy enough to look and see who you paid when, they will get you. If you get a bill from them it is NOT genuine. Do not pay it!

Was sent a bill for People Magazine. Paid the bill for $179.95. Later People Magazine took $126.54 out of my account for auto pay. Now I’m out the $179.95 NOT Happy husband called People and of course nothing can be done. Someone needs to stop
this! Can’t really afford the extra moneys out!

Type of a scam Debt Collections

I have subscribed to Southern Living magazine for years. Pacific Magazine Billing sent me a special 2-yr offer to renew. I was billed for the first year in January 2020 and sent a check for $27.48. In early March I rec’d a second bill for $27.47 which would be for the second year. I have not been able to get an answer at the phone no. supplied above. I called Southern Living MAGAZINE and I still have an active subscription with them and they were going to send me a renewal letter this spring. They had no record of this renewal I already paid for as described above.

I am reading online of others who have scammed by PACIFIC MAGAZINE BILLING…….and would like to get my money back for year one and I will subscribe directly with SOUTHERN LIVING. PLEASE ADVISE.

My 82 year old mother has been getting invoices requesting payment for People magazine. Since she does receive People magazine, she would just right a check and mail it in. I have recently started taking over her finances to find that she has paid over $800.00 for People magazine in the last two years. The invoices have multiple accounts under her name. This is so sad how they pray on the elderly. Any advice on how to get her money back?

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

Received an "invoice" for $179.95 from them for a subscription to People Magazine. We already subscribe to People and had renewed for one year last September at a cost of $94. Since most people don’t remember the exact date they subscribed, they’re trying to get us to subscribe from them at a higher price. Disgraceful!

My mom passed away and we just received a bill for 179.95 for People Magazine and the magazine showed up today. We haven’t ordered the magazine or given anyone permission to send them. I want this to stop.
