Unauthorized Magazine Subscription

For the past few weeks I've been receiving People magazine, although I NEVER authorized this subscription! I also made a purchase online from Fragrance,net several months ago. When I called People magazine customer service to complain, they told me that M2 Media Group 'gave' it to me on a complimentary basis and I should call them. I checked online for complaints first on this company before I called them and found this site. I won't be ordering from Fragrance.net again. Hopefully the govt will soon crack down and prosecute these con artists and scammers to the fullest extent of the law that waste thousands of people's time.

FRAUDULENT MAGAZINE ORDER

I also just received a copy of PEOPLE magazine that I never ordered! I ordered from Fragrance.Net just a few weeks back and NEVER did I "Opt In" to subscribe in for any kind of magazine from anywhere!!! All of a sudden I'm told by calling People Customer Service that through a 3rd party group called M2 Media Group I was automatically signed up for magazine subscriptions through my order I placed and I had to remedy this through contacting M2 Media at 866-441-1281. Well try to get through, I challenge you, as it's a run around automated service telling you a number of ways to try to cancel your subscription that you never ordered!!! I think Fragrance.Net should be legally pursued for this fraudulent activity! I WILL CONTINUE TO PURSUE THIS AND WILL MAKE IT PUBLIC IN EVERY WAY FOR THIS COMPANY TO NO LONGER BE ABLE TO OPERATE AND YOU SHOULD TOO!!! Shame on them.

Unsolicited Magazine

I started receiving Entertainment Weekly about a month ago, a subscription I did not order or pay for, and have no intention of paying for. I could not be less interested in this magazine. I looked up the account that was established in my name by someone, and discovered M2 Media was the source of the subscription. I cancelled with Entertainment Weekly, but have noted a large number of reviews in which people have started receiving magazines they did not order through M2 Media. Please add my complaint to the pile. I will not be honoring any invoices that come my way.

HGTV Magazine Subscription

About three weeks ago received invoice from HGTV for me to pay for one year subscription to their magazine. I wrote on invoice “DID NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THIS MAGAZINE”. I asked them to provide proof that I subscribed. Today I received copy of HGTV Magazine with demand for payment. All they said was “You entered our contest and subscribed due to that entry”. Their Contest Rules
specifically state “No Purchase Required”!!! I have read online that this is recent pattern of a SCAM by HGTV.

Being charged 17.88 on my Debit card

I ordered a year ago from Fragrancenet.com and was awarded a free subscription to Cosmopolitan Magazine as a bonus. However I just received a renewal for Cosmo magazine with a charge of 17.88. They, according to my bank, charged the account 1 year ago which I did not pickup. When I preceded to cancel on line it stated it was a complimentary subscription. Not so !! Charged in 2016 and 2018. 17.88. This is a scam and should be directed to the proper authorities which I plan to pursue. It will cost me $30.00 to stop payment.

M2 Media Group - scam solution?

Just as many of the previous posters, I started receiving unsolicited copies of People a few weeks ago. Rather than go into M2's rats nest of computer and voice menus, I opted for the old snail mail method - I wrote "return to sender" and "unsolicited" on two copies and dropped them off at the Post Office. Yesterday, I received an email from TIME, INC customer service:

"The Post Office recently notified us that mail sent to you at the address below is "undeliverable".
Regrettably, we will need to suspend delivery of your PEOPLE subscription until you verify your address."

Could it really be that easy to block these scams? We'll see, but I now have proof that I tried to stop the subscription if they try to bill me at a future date.

Unauthorized Subscription

I have been receiving the Time Magazine and I do not subscribe to any magazine. I contacted them and was informed that it was done through Media Group. I never authorized nor requested service. I truly do not want to keep receiving it. I would like for your company to stop sending this and cancel any sunscription done without my authorization.

From reading other complaints it appears that this resulted from my doing business with Fragrance.com. That will never happen again. I will not do any further business with that company ever.

unauthorized mag subscription

frangrancenet.com could be the culpri as I see other complaints when they ordered from them.
Called Rolling Stone Mag and they were very nice. Gave me M2 Media phone #
That is a bunch of voice mails never leading to real customer service..
So used their web to list my complaint.
ThenI found the website for complaint.com. I used the subscrition cancelling and they were right on showing the Rolling stone Mag. BTW I guess I am going to get Vogue,too, so I cancelled that one also. Where is the law when you need them LOL
Hope all this works, cause all this has cost me a total of 2 hrs and I am not 100% sure it is done with.

unwanted magazine subscription

Received swimsuit issue and now March issue of Sports Illustrated magazine - unsolicited. Called Sports Illustrated. Person said I was signed up by M2Media Group. This person said Sports Illustrated could suspend my 'subscription' delivery for 6 months but it will be re-instated after that. Person gave me "www.cancelmag.com". She said this is the only way to cancel it.

Went to "www.cancelmag.com". Entered the info requested - the site said ". . . You are receiving the magazine as a result of recently making an online purchase with either TicketNetwork.com or TicketLiquidator.com. The magazine was included as a bonus offer with your purchase. . . there are no hidden costs, further obligations, or automatic renewals associated with your subscription. Your credit card information was not passed to us. Would you like to continue to enjoy your magazine?"

I entered "No" to this question and "Yes" to the "Are you sure" follow-up question.

Unwanted Magazine

I ordered from Shoebuy.com last summer. Then copies of Time started mysteriously appearing in the mail. After wasting a bunch of time trying to find out why,I found it was a "bonus " for my purchase. It's next to impossible to get this canceled,the phone for M2 is just a bunch of loops without a live operator. This is totally underhanded and I advised Shoebuy I'd never order from then again. I also advised my credit card company that if a renewal charge from M2 or Time ever comes through that it is to be treated as a fraudulent charge and the proper authority should be notified at once.

M2 Media Group

Magazines I did NOT subscribe to keep showing up at my door, cluttering my mailbox. 9 of them so far ( Us Weekly, Shape, Cosmopolitan, Better Homes and Gardens, Family Circle, Woman's Day, Family Fun, and Elle). Just went to a couple of the websites for the magazines to try and stop them, and received this message on several: " This subscription was purchased through M2 MEDIA GROUP". I NEVER ONCE subscribed to ANY of these magazines! The only plus side is, as far as I know, I am not being charged for any. But I don't like this trash cluttering up my mailbox all the time.
