Synapse - Magazine scam
Apparently this some magazine scam. I checked my credit card statement and found a bogus charge for $26 for a magazine subscription I never ordered.
Tried calling all the numbers I could find. Wenner Media (publisher) told me the order was put in by a 3rd party, "New Subservice". They gave me a number which I tried, as well as the # on the charge. Both lines are only automated with no option to speak to a human.
The machine informed me that the subscription was a "gift" for answering some survey. Some gift. Machine said it was giving me a partial refund and only charging me $2 to continue it. It gave me no other option.
After 2 hours on the phone, I called the bank to cancel my credit card. I had investigated the number on 800callnotes.com and found several people had later had their credit cards maxed out.
Reason of review: Accessed my credit card with no permission..
Monetary Loss: $26.
Preferred solution: Full refund.
Synapse Cons: Scam.
