I subscribed to a local paper on Discounted-Newspapers.com for $30. They should have sent me first newspaper three days ago and I didn’t get it so far. I think that 3 days is enough time to deliver local newspaper. I will wait till the end of the week and then contact BBB.

Received invoice for magazine subscription that was never ordered. Received one issue of Soap Opera Digest, then several more invoices requesting, then demanding payment for the phony subscription.
