So a few weeks ago, two issues (Feb & Mar) of Esquire show up in my mailbox with my name on the label. I never ordered them, so I just tossed them in the recycle bin without giving it much thought. Then the April issue showed up, so I figured I should put a stop to it since I have no interest in Esquire and would rather not waste all that paper.
I contact Esquire to cancel and they inform me that the order was placed through an "independent sales agency", so they cannot cancel it and I'd have to contact the agency directly. WTF?! Don't they ultimately control the names printed on the label?
Anyway, after a little Googling, it turns out this is a fairly common scam. The 3rd party agency is called Subco and they work out of Fresno, Ca. However, they claim to just be a clearing house and don't handle any of the billing, so the buck gets passed again.
Neither my credit card or PayPal have been charged for this, so I'm expecting a bill to show up in the mail any day now. Anybody else experience this scam?
