Prevention Magazine Auto renewal notice phone number scam Red Oak Iowa

I too received the notice to "do nothing" AND have my subscription Magazine AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED. I didn't want to keep the subscription, so I called the number they list to cancel - 800-813-8070 and just like other consumers, every time I called, it rang busy. And I called literally 45 times! So, I did a search about canceling Prevention Magazine and found this site. That's when I learned that others had the same issue.

I decided I wasn't going to go down without a fight. I located Prevention Magazine's customer service phone # (610) 967-8527 and called them to cancel. I was on hold for about 8 minutes, but finally reached "Julie" and was able to rectify this situation. After I was satisfied that my sub had been canceled, I complained to Julie about the constantly busy phone number. She said she'd have someone look into that line. I highly doubt anything will change, but at least if anyone else runs into the same problem and are able to track down this website, they can use the number above to cancel their sub.

BAD, BAD business practice! No wonder magazines are shutting down left and right.
