Total money lost $59.95
Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

My mother subscribes to several magazines. I handle her bills for her. I was billed by this company for Southern Living. And I paid them a total of 59.95. When Southern Living also billed me, I contacted them and they said they were not affiliated with this company and that they have had other complaints. They recommended that I report them to BBB.

There is no website, and I will not call them because I do not want them to have my phone number.

I have begun to receive other invoices for magazines that I did not order. Of course, I'm not going to be stupid twice...

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

I received an invoice from Pacific Magazine LP for a renewal for People Magazine in December 2017. On 12/8/2017 I sent a check made out to Pacific Magazine LP in the amount of $179.95. The check was cashed by Pacific Magazine Billing LP, (Company's Account #***, Bank of Southern California [Bank # ***]) in December. I have a copy of the front and back of the check but cannot read the date it was cashed.

I do not want to send a picture of my check with the payment information.

I received a mailed "invoice" for my People magazine subscription from this company. They were offering me one year of People magazine for $179.95, which is a LOT more than I've paid for a year of People in the past. I've never received anything from this company before, that I remember. I Googled this company... lo & behold, the BBB shows numerous complaints filed against them and bad reviews. They are not affiliated with People, or any other magazine. Don't use this company!

They sent a "Notice of Continuation/New Order Offer" for the magazine "Science News", to which I already subscribe. I checked with the Science News website, and they have absolutely nothing to do with PMB, and warn their subscribers of that fact. In easy-to-overlook print, the PMB slip says that it is not a bill, but this easily could be overlooked by busy people. A pdf of the "Notice" is attached.

Thank you for your efforts.

This "bill" comes in the mail and is made to look like your are delinquent in the payment for the magazine. The price for the Magazine is inflated - example - McCall's Quilting 1 year for $69.95 and you can pay in two installments. It also states that "Make Check Payable to: Pacific Magazine Billing, LLC - I get these bills frequently and have tossed them out as junk mail but it is not getting a little frustrating and I am concerned that some older folks that like to quilt might fall for this scam.

It does say that this is an offer from an independent agent - Not a bill, but it way at the bottom of the document.

We have received mailings from this company that appear to be a bill for "People" and "Birds and Blooms" magazines. The fake bill asks for our prompt attention and to make a check payable to PMC. It is only at the bottom of the "bill" that it describes itself as an independent agents offer and not a bill!

We believe this format for advertising is very deceptive and needs to be stopped immediately.

Thank-you* *** ***

They sent a invoice for a "Notice of Renewal Order" for a magazine I am currently getting. I did not ask for renewal and they appear to have no direct connection to the magazine. .... Good Housekeepig

I received a notice of renewal/new order from this company for the Reader's Digest for 3 years for $99.95. I just renewed my subscription to the Reader's Digest 2 months ago for a lot less than $99.95. I never heard of this company. I deal directly with Reader's Digest. However, it did make me think twice until I checked my records.

Fake invoice / Deceptive business practice.

Received via postal mail a 1/3-sheet "NOTICE OF RENEWAL/ NEW ORDER" instructing recipient to "Return with your payment", "Please respond by xxx", "Your Prompt Attention is Appreciated" and so on, with dollar amounts requested, the "notice" clearly resembling in content, format, and style a standard publisher's invoice for a magazine to which I have in the past subscribed, but for an oddly high price of $59.95 instead of the usual range of $11.00 to $34.00 or so. Inspecting the notice more fully, in inconspicuous and small type on the front side, one finds "PLEASE KEEP THIS PORTION IF RESPONDING TO THIS INDEPENDENT AGENTS [sic] OFFER NOT A BILL", and on the back under the boldface heading "Term [sic] and Conditions" there is actually a truthful disclosure that this notice "is just an offer and not a bill or invoice", and so on, which is phrased politely enough and obviously included to avert legal action, but when one reads the entirety of the form, it becomes apparent that the intent of the mailing is deceptive: this company charges a $9.00 "processing fee. . . plus our costs to submit your order" for the service of "managing all of your magazine subscriptions". In other words, Pacific Magazine Billing is attempting via deceptive packaging to insert itself as an utterly superfluous middleman who for a large fee simply forwards the subscriber's payment to the publisher, effectively making money by doing nothing but increasing the USPS's ordinary workload.

I (and apparently others) have received 'invoices' from this company. It is always for a magazine that you either currently subscribe to OR have in the recent past. You are fooled into paying the 'first installment' and then you get another 'invoice' for another 'installment'--- prices FAR exceed normal market prices and I am not sure they even actually send the product. I paid $29.98 and never received a refund, apology, etc. This is a farce. I am not usually so gullible. And by the way PACIFIC MAGAZINE BILLING---- I AM ON THE NATIONAL DO NOT MAIL LIST FOR ALL MAGAZINE OFFERS SO YOU ARE OFFICIALLY BREAKING THE LAW BY SENDING ME YOUR STUPID OFFERS.
