            I received a notice to renew my subscription for People Magazine on 2/13/23. I sent a check for $89.98. I recently received another notice and I started to think I was receiving a lot of them so I looked back I had already renewed 4 times this year. I now have a subscription which is good through **** according to People Mag. They said I could cancel any time by calling the 3rd party seller. I contacted the phone number provided by ******* at People Mag and no one returns calls left at that number.I have requested a refund and no one calls back. I would like a refund. I see it says Pacific Magazine is no longer sending renewal notices or solicitations, but I would like a refund if the amount paid. People Magazine should also stop allowing renewals through 3rd party sellers. It turns out I have 1 renewal with this vendor and 3 with other vendors. Based on my conversation with *******, they are aware this is a problem. It benefits them so they overlook it and hand out useless phone numbers to make it seem like theyre not complicit.

            Terrible scam, I keep getting bills from *** for good housekeeping magazine subscriptions after paying total amount. When I call them they tell me to just throw the bill out???? When I ask if the subscription was updated they just say yes. I contacted good housekeeping and they have no record of it. Total scam!!!! Since then my banking accounts have been compromised, I don't know if it is related to this issue but I had to since close my accounts!
