Having been a business owner for many years and a member of the Revdex.com, I find it disturbing that an organization such as this can even be categorized as accredited If I had ever found a single complaint on my business, I would have been troubled This company seems to have a stock answer to most of the comments that I read - and never did I see anything positiveI believe that I have successfully canceled all of magazine subscriptions, but I will continue to be watchful All of the subscriptions were sent to my wife after she bought a book in *** and used her credit card Apparently she agreed to a disguised retail promotion The magazines that were included would never have been of her choosing; I'm quite sure of that, and I'm sure that she would not have agreed to pass the credit card number along this wayThe cancellation process was very clever and confusing One needs to debate the decision of saying yes or no because of the wording of the choices It took a bit of detective work on my part to even figure out from where the magazines were comingMy credit card company wasn't able to help pinpoint the charges either (or they weren't willing to tell me) I learned the telephone number by calling one of the magazine customer service departmentsI'm asking that the Revdex.com do a better job of protecting us from companies preying on the unsuspecting public - many of these complaints and reviews appear to be from elderly Add me as one more negative opinion

Revdex.com:In regards to *** *** statement that I accepted their "Promotional Offer online when I went to renew a year subscriptions an EXTREME stretch of the truth. Upon further research, I did renew my *** subscription online on August 29th, 2014, in the amount of $12.00. Synapse's definition of a "Promotion Offer" is a well disguised Oprogram that they use as a legal loop hole, while posing as an order processing vendor. Their so-called “cancellation policy” to notify them if the customer wishes to term the program, is sleazy and of questionable business practice. Especially since none of us as customers, are even aware we have been enrolled. Why would I agree to renewal program that charges $41.00, twice the amount of my original subscription charge?
The business practices of this company are unethical. Resorting to dishonesty and deception that borders to the point of being illegal, all of which have apparently been extensively documented throughout the years. That, MrK***, is the only thing I am assured of.
Since the $which was erroneous deducted from my account has been refunded to me in a timely manner, I am allowing the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, to be a resolution and somewhat satisfactory to meSincerely, *** ***
