Steven J Vande is the CEO of this scam company. Just received an invoice for TV Guide for my mother, who has been dead for 10 years. She would have been 91. So they are knowingly trying to scam elders.

I paid for one year subscription on two instalments each $34 on 3/6 and 4/3/2020 assuming that they are represent Time Magazine. I did receive anything yet. I tried to contact them on Tel no 888 590 0030 vainly. I will try to check with the bank for possible reverse the payments.

I received a invoice from Pacific Magazine Billing for a 2 year renewal for Southern Living Magazine. I paid in 2 installments. I just received another invoice and called the company to inquire why. I was told to flip the invoice over and read the back which states that the invoice is really not an an invoice. Who cashed my checks? I called Southern Living who had no knowledge of this company. Why isn't the Better Business Bureau shutting this scam down!

Useful

Just sent me a notice for Southern Living. $90 for 26 issues. I just renewed a four 1 year (13 issues) for $5 through Amazon. They are trying to scam people. And if you aren't savvy enough to look and see who you paid when, they will get you. If you get a bill from them it is NOT genuine. Do not pay it!

this! Can't really afford the extra moneys out!

I have subscribed to Southern Living magazine for years. Pacific Magazine Billing sent me a special 2-yr offer to renew. I was billed for the first year in January 2020 and sent a check for $27.48. In early March I rec'd a second bill for $27.47 which would be for the second year. I have not been able to get an answer at the phone no. supplied above. I called Southern Living MAGAZINE and I still have an active subscription with them and they were going to send me a renewal letter this spring. They had no record of this renewal I already paid for as described above.

I am reading online of others who have scammed by PACIFIC MAGAZINE BILLING.......and would like to get my money back for year one and I will subscribe directly with SOUTHERN LIVING. PLEASE ADVISE.

Received an "invoice" for $179.95 from them for a subscription to People Magazine. We already subscribe to People and had renewed for one year last September at a cost of $94. Since most people don't remember the exact date they subscribed, they're trying to get us to subscribe from them at a higher price. Disgraceful!

My mom passed away and we just received a bill for 179.95 for People Magazine and the magazine showed up today. We haven't ordered the magazine or given anyone permission to send them. I want this to stop.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

A subscription bill format for 1 yr 50 issues of People magazine for $179.95, with an installment payment of $89.95. Besides never subscribing to the magazine, the amount for the subscription is way over actual costs. In red print says it is an offer from independent company not a bill, but does say to retain one portion and has stub to "return with your payment". However, it is designed to appear as billing from Pacific Magazine and monies are due and "Thank You. You prompt attention is appreciated" in red, as is Make Check Pyable. Fake invoice.

Type of a scam Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

Do NOT give Pacific Magazine Billing any of your money! They sent me a notice for 6 free issues of *** magazine and then I could either order a subscription or cancel at any time after the 6 free issues arrived. I decided to order a subscription and paid for it in two installments: $54.98 and $44.00, which I might add are strange dollar amounts. This should have taken care of the subscription, however, I just received another bill for $54.97, which is a complete SCAM and will not pay. I called *** Magazine directly and they said they never heard of this company and are certainly not affiliated with them. Words of caution: their bills do not include a physical address (only PO Box), phone number, website address or even an email address. They are a complete scammer and I would run the other way if you receive mail from them.

PMB sends an offer to a *** magazine subscription I already had and was going to expire. I sent payment of$139.95 and then directly billed via my credit card by ***. When I called ***, they said they weren't affiliated with PMB and have no record of a double payment. Their advice was the call the bank and file a complaint. The phone for PMB doesn't work and after searching their name on line, I found many of the same exact complaints. This company should be shut down.

We received an offer to renew People Magazine for $109.95.. Pacific Magazine Billing received my check of $109.95. They cashed the check but it was never given to People Magazine. I tried calling the number given but it wasn’t a working number. I am so disappointed in this scam.
