      We Scribe started sending my husband Sports Illustrated. We did not pay for any subscriptions. We dont read magazines. Ive tried calling We Scribe to cancel since there seems to be no ending date for our subscription. I can only get a message saying they are busy and to call back or its after hours and are closed. I want them to cancel the subscription and put us on the do not send list. I dont want this issue again in the future.

      I have been receiving magazines that I did not order nor subscribe to. I had no idea where they were coming from or why. I have been sending emails to the magazine companies and they say they do not have permission to cancel my subscription- which seems inappropriate. It sounds like wescribe is the immoral company holding me hostage in these subscriptions. Im not sure if theyre collecting money from me but I again need them to cancel all subscriptions in my name, including People, Vanity Fair, Allure and any other magazines that are in my name. I want zero magazine subscriptions- and I take issue with any charges they have taken from me. Please cancel all subscriptions immediately. The account number from the mailing label is **********

      I started receiving magazines from Allure about a week ago. Since then, I've received 3 issues. I called to cancel and was told this subscription was opened and handled by WeScribeMags. Not only did I never sign up for this, but they are using my maiden name, which I haven't used for 11 years. So now I'm wondering where they got my information, and who is paying for it because I obviously haven't signed up for anything using this name of information. I would like information on where they received my information, a stop and desist from all subscriptions or advertising and if I was somehow charged for these fraudulent subscriptions, I want a full refund.

      Two magazines, Allure and Vogue, have been sent to my familys home without my authorization. I no longer live at this address. They were sent under my maiden name: ***********************, ***********************************************************. I did not order these magazines. I do not know how this company got my information and am frustrated they are using my information without my consent. The two magazine companies were contacted and they told us We Scribe was the company that ordered these magazines. I have the email of this communication if needed. This is the second time this has happened. I called WeScribe at **************. A machine answered the phone stating a representative will be with me shortly. After holding, a voicemail answered. I left my name and phone number for a call back. I called again later with the same results. I do not want to give any more of my personal information on their website. I would like both magazines, *************** along with any other magazines that *** be under my name, to STOP. I would also like to be placed in their DO NOT MARKET list, as this is the second time this has occurred. I would also like them not to share my information with any other companies. Thank you.

      Been receiving magazines that I did not order or subscribe to. I had no idea where they were coming from or why. Then one day I received a card from Real Simple stating that they had a temporary subscription change. I wrote a letter to Real Simple asking them to removed my name and address from ALL mailing lists and databases. They referred me to We Scribe and round and round it seems to be going. How do I get this to STOP? The name they are using is **************************************. The account number is RSP/**********.

      We Scribe used my inform to obtain a subscription to the magazine Real Simple. I in no way initiated this or authorized it. I want them to cancel everything and remove my information from all records and contact listed immediately. This is a fraudulent company that has to steal others information to keep their business going.

      I am writing to request a CEASE AND DESIST against We Scribe Corporation for mailing me a magazine subscription I have never, and would have NEVER, intended to purchase. I do not subscribe to any magazine and I knew instantly it was a scam. I received a VOGUE magazine for JULY and initially thought it was an error. However, I just received their AUGUST edition and tried to put a stop to the deliveries directly with *************** They were only able to put a stop delivery on the issues but told me they were being delivered to me by We Scribe. I realized this company is notorious for sending subscriptions to everyone, in the hopes that they wouldn't notice and then **** them later for it. PLEASE, PLEASE keep companies like them from targeting others who aren't as vigilant about investigating and taking necessary action against unauthorized purchases or subscriptions. I REFUSE to be charged for something I have taken every precaution to avoid and have absolutely no intention of ever purchasing.
