Synapse Retail Ventures, Inc. Synapse Group, Inc. duped me into accepting trial magazine subscritions, not notified would be charged first, cannot cancel Internet, Internet

I was offered three free trial subscriptions to magazines of my choice by Books A Million, approximately a month ago.   At no time was I informed that they would charge my credit card to initiate the "free" trial.  When I discovered this, about a week later via notice from the company, I personally went to the store to have them cancel the offer.  In addition I tried to contact the company on the customer service number provided .  It gives no opportunity to speak with a "real" person, it is completely automated with no option for my problem.

Today 3/26/12 I received a "Welcome" card saying I had "recently accepted an offer to try the magazines...."  I returned the card with a cancellation notice on the face of it, in addition to a letter restating that I had cancelled previously.  I also said they did not have my approval to charge my credit card. 

I found a name and number of the VP of Public Relationn the Internet.   I tried to reach this person, and received a message that she could be reached via her cell.  I called that number and got another message that she was not available.
