    For the last year and a half, continental publishing has been debiting my Mom's account for Country Woman, and according to other ************** this magazine stopped publishing in early 2023. I don't know how they hacked into my mom's account, the account only has access to me or my dad. My mom has had dementia since early 2021. I have guardianship over my mom. How do they charge for a subscription to a magazine that is no longer in circulation??? And the the subscription is ***** monthly. When u can get a subscription for ***** a year. What a ripoff. All I want is a refund of all payments taken out. And please check out this company for any other fraudulent activities.

    My elderly mother is on a fixed income and I discovered she is being charged $62.50 per month by Continental Publishers for *************************** Living. These charges are being withdrawn from her savings account. So far, there have been seven monthly charges, the first was on June 24, 2022, and the latest occurred on December 8, 2022. My mother claims she did not authorize this monthly deduction, nor has she received any magazines or other products from this company. I would like to request these deductions be stopped immediately and my mother be reimbursed the full amount of $437.50 ($62.50 x 7 months).
