    Someone withdrew $1.95 7/12/2024 and $34.95 twice from my bank account. The withdrawal was listed as SPI. I called the number and was told the subscription was for magazines. I did not subscribe to any magazines. I had never heard of this company. It's a scam. Somehow they got hold of my debit card number. They said I was signed up for a monthly subscription to 3 magazines for $34.95 and will be billed monthly. I never recieved any magazines and don't want them.

    The complaint with USA Select Publications has been resolved. I got a call from them telling me that they will refund my money. The full refund was sent back into my checking account. They referenced my complain with BBB and apologized. Thank you BBB for helping me get my money back. *************************
