Subco

Totally did not ask for this subscription. Feels like being spammed thru a 3rd party. Who the heck is Subco?

I have been receiving magazine subscriptions from Southern Living, Good Housekeeping, and Cosmopolitan magazines for three years now. I have called these magazines to cancel the subscriptions, but I have been told that they cannot cancel because these magazines were subscribed for me through an agency. I was never given the name of an agency until I contacted Southern Living and threatened further action against them. Then I was given the name of Subco, a magazine clearinghouse. I contacted Subco and told them that I was going to press charges against them for using my personal information without my consent. I told them because they did use my personal information without my consent, I wanted them to pay me for these magazines that I have received for the past three years. This is what they wrote back.:

COSMOPOLITAN, GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, SOUTHERN LIVING magazine(s) were being sent to you as a Paid Special Offer subscription and was entered to Subco for processing by the independent sales agency named Millennium Marketing. They have sent you these magazine(s) hoping you would enjoy them and maybe subscribe to them after their promotional terms. Based on this subscription type, we can confirm there's no billing for this subscription and it will not automatically renew.

Independent Sales Agency: Millennium Marketing
Location: Shawnee, KS
Customer Service Phone: *******565 (Central Standard Time)

As you can see, there is yet another agency involved in sending out these magazines.to me. This is fraud. It is wrong for these agencies to gather personal information on people and use it for financial gain. This business needs to be shut down. I have reported this company to the Federal Trade Commission, The Better Business Bureau. I am going to report this company to the State Attorney General's Office for the state of Virginia.

DID NOT SUBSCRIBE BUT HAVE BEEN RECEIVING US WEEKLY MAGAZINES. TRIED TO CONTACT US WEEKLY & THEY STATED SUBSCRIPTION CAME FROM SUBCO.

I have been receiving magazine subscriptions that I did not purchase. It started sometime in 2024, and I was told by the magazine that they were ordered by a third-party company, but the magazine was able to cancel it. At the beginning of 2025 I began receiving another magazine. When I called that company they said they could not cancel it and that I'd have to call a third-party company; apparently the same company, called Subco. I do not want these to continue and I believe this should not be allowed. It's just more junk mail in my mailbox that will end up in the garbage. Not to mention this latest magazine did not have a cover that I would consider appropriate.
