Description

There is a site on Facebook under "The Kindness Company" for Knitting newspapers under "Kint Nation. It looked very reasonable as there were email comments and even videos. So, I order for a free subscription even though I had to pay the fee of shipment of $3.95. And, of course I used my credit card. I am assuming at this time that this is a scam since I have not yet received the newspaper. I ordered Sept 28th and then the company stated it was shipped on Oct 3rd and it would take 8-22 business days to receive it. As of now it is way past 22 business days and I have still not received the Knit Nation Paper. They also, automatically charged me again on October 28th, which I did not want a subscription for this paper for the full price of $10.95. Note, I was only requesting one paper to decide if it was any good. I just emailed to them to cancel from any further orders and remove me on the mailing list. I also requested to please credit me back for the September order of $3.95 and the October order of $10.95. Within less than 30 seconds they emailed back to me stating "I’m so sorry for the frustration and inconvenience you’ve experienced. I completely understand how disappointing it is not to have received your newspaper after waiting so long, and I apologize for any confusion with your subscription charges and mailings." In email they stated if I want to cancel the subscription (which I did not think I even did request a subscription) to "please use this link: Manage Subscription. Simply enter your email address to receive a Magic Link, log in, and you’ll be able to pause or cancel your subscription and update your preferences." What is Magic Link and is this more of a scam?
