              On 2/24/2023 I received a call from someone saying they were from the Register Mail and wanted my debit card number over the phone for charges. It was a recorded call and I asked for charges to be stopped. The card on file had been hacked and payments would not go through due to that fact. They told me that unless I give them my card number they would keep charging me. I said I was happy to pay what I owed through a paper bill or an email but they refused to do that. I will not give my new debit card info over the phone when I do not know exactly who I am talking to. They said the problem will stay unresolved and they would keep charging me

              I have recently been trying to inquire about renewing my 83 yr old mother's local newspaper subscription. Have called the local number twice and left messages for callback both times. Absolutely no one has returned my calls over the course of two weeks. I even tried the number for Gannett News (newspaper owner), only to find that it simply ends the call when you attempt to access available options (like to speak to a representative), Having now read the multiple negative reviews on Gannett News on this site, I am happy that we last paid by check and not credit card. Sounds like they regularly take advantage of charging customers for no or extremely poor customer service. I will not be renewing this subscription. Buyer beware!
