Hhave you been scammed into a magazine subscription when using your credit card to pay for your stuff?

At Best Buy I bought a portable DVD player for my dad for father’s day and the chic said we get this trial subscription (6 free magazines) from like rolling stone, us weekly, vibe, etc…
The catch is if you don’t call a number to cancel the subscription they keep sending them to you and bill you later. The chic at the check out explained this after I signed. What a scam… douches

Yes, I did get signed up at Best Buy also for Entertainment magazine. Make sure you cancel, because they will auto-renew forever if you don’t.
I got it stopped after about 3 months, and the refund for billed but not received issues arrived after about 6 months. I had forgotten all about it by then and had a hard time finding out what the refund was for, since I had closed the account that was used for the charge.
