Synapse Retail Ventures, Inc. - Unwanted Magazines

I have been getting these magazines from this company, I never ordered any of these magazines or gave this company any permission to bill my credit card. I shopped at Loemann's and brought a scarf, next thing I know this Company Synapse Retail is billing the same credit card that I used at Loemann's. I will never shop at Loemanns again, ever. The customer account they gave me is # [protected].

TV Guide Subscription - Scam/Over-priced

We recently thought we renewed our TV guide subscription but we've never gone through their services before. We recently got the renewal from our normal source for a lot cheaper. I would like to request a full refund since the subscription has yet to start. We sent a check for on 9/6/10 and it was cashed on 9/13/10. I've read nothing but scam complaints about this company.

Best Choice Magazines - Paid for but haven't received subscriptions

I purchased in December 2006 and paid for by credit card 2 subscriptions which I have yet to receive, and it is the eve of June 2007.
