This Magazine Services Center as they are known repeatedly calls my wife who has dementia. They have been asked to remove her name from their calling list but continue to call her and sign her up for 4 years of Readers Digest. I have had to have these charges removed through my bank. They still call and insist that the charges are legal claiming they recorded the call that she agreed to the charges. They have no call recording warning. (I believe that is illegal.) This is an ongoing battle. I have filed a complaint with the FL DA's office.
Caller says, "There was a problem with your renewall of [magazine to which I do subscribe]. Your payment wasn't attached to the renewal. How would you like to settle this. Your offer was $130 for three plus three. I'll take your credit card number now."
Magazine name was correct. Timing of my renewal was about right. He was vague about the offer to which I responded. Did not know my expiration date. Very suspicious.
Asked for company name. "Magazine Services Center." Phone number? "Sorry, this is a call center; we are not allowed to give out the phone number."
I declined. In fact, my subscription is up to date, the renewal was for $47, not $130.

This certainly looks like a rip-off to me.
Hope this is helpful to someone.
