Beware
Subscribed for one year of Magazine in Aug of 2010. On June 6th 2011, I was charged $1.00 on my credit card from TWX Magazine. I called number 1*877*813*0320 which I found on this thread (they have several different toll free numbers), kept pressing zero to reach a customer service. After 8 minutes on hold, I politely asked the representative about the $1 charge. I was told that it was a test withdrawal so that they can automatically renew my subscription in Aug and bill me. I was able to cancel my magazine subscription and was told that there will be no future charges and my $1.00 will be refunded to me within 72 hrs. So guys check your bank statements regularly. Hopefully this works.

Did ot want magazines
I had ordered some makeup through the phone. After I ordered they told me I would be eligible to receive magazines. I told them I did not want any magazines. I checked my bank account today and there were 2 charges. 1 for $5.97 and another one for $25.00. I called my bank and they said it was listed as TWX magazine and gave me a 1-800 number to call. It is impossible to speak to a live person since it is automated. I cancelled this over the phone and hopefully I won't be charged any more. This is ridiculous and crap like this needs to stop. When someone says "No", they mean no!!!

Magazine Scam
Beware of TWX's scam. They offer you free magazines for three months, then they charge your credit card $84 for it. This happened to me when I ordered People Magazine. After arguing with People Magazine for a long time, I finally got a number then will get through; I want to share it. Here it is: 1-877-813-0320 (You have to keep pressing "0" (zero) to get a live person. They will fast-talk you and be careful and just keep saying "do not send me anymore magazines and remove the charge from my credit card". Be clear and firm and the will remove the charges in 72 hours. Good luck getting out of this scam. God bless.

DEBITING MY BANK ACCOUNT
They have debited/credited my account for a magazine subscription that I have cancelled with the magazine itself. The first time I called them and told them that I did not want the magazine(s) renewed. They returned my money but now they have done so again. I do not want any magazines at this time and I did not authorize them to take money from my account. Also, the first time I knew which magazines they were attempting to renew but today they have opted to leave the name of the magazine out of the subject line. I am going to call my bank and see if they can help me. What can I do in the future if they attempt to do this again? Surely this company can be kept from debiting/crediting people's accounts without their express permission.

No warning
Purchased from Stein Mart and was informed that I "won" 3 months of free magazines. I initially said no, but the clerk insisted that there were no strings attached. I would be sent the OPTION to renew if I wanted to - I would not have to cancel. Well now I have a $58.95 charge to my debit card with no authorization from me. Shame on them for not at least contacting me. I might have kept one of the magazines that I really enjoyed, but no way now - at least not from this company. How is it possible to debit from someone's checking account without prior authorization? Their business practices are deceptive, and they should be stopped.

fraud, scam
I was recently charged by the TWX Magazine company for magazines I did not order. They overdrew my account by $100 and caused a lot of problems for me. I contacted the company and they said they would deposit the money back in my account in 72 hours. I then contacted my bank AGAIN, and the company was in the process of removing the money from my account AGAIN!!! I have filed a complaint and and shredded my debit card. This company is a scam artist and enjoy making a living off of hard working people. This is fraud. And I think some type of legal action should be taken against this company to prevent this from happening to other hard working people like myself. Bottom line is that they flat out suck!!!
