I received a notice from Associated Publishers Network (APN) for my subscription to "The Economist" magazineThe notice was marked in bold red lettering "Renewal Notice" and the price was $for one year When I called The Economist directly I found the renewal price was $for a year The renewal notice from APN came well before the subscription was due so if I hadn't been careful I would have paid it because it looked very officialWhen I called APN they noted that on their notice in very small lettering it says "RENEWAL OFFER - NOT A BILL" but it is very small and you really have to look for itThe APN was ready to pocket $simply to renew my subscription for me In my opinion this company is predatory taking advantage of people that don't read the small print on what looks to be a bill and is marked as a renewal noticeI wonder how they get customer subscriptions lists from magazines so they can run this deceptive practice?

I received an APN renewal form for the Economist on February APN are scamsters:
The renewal charge ($for weeks) is four times the usual amount
I was on hold for 20+ minutes at XXX-XXX-XXXX, and no one answered
The real reps of the Economist said that they had nothing to do with APN

I received a "Renewal Notice" from this company for one year of National Enquirer for $- roughly double the subscription priceThey are clearly trying to imply that the invoice is from National Enquirer and say "You're receiving one of the lowest available rates we can offer for your regular subscription" The greatest indignity of all is that I am sure they would not send me the energized lucky "Blue Dot" that National Enquirer sends with a timely renewal I hope that this nasty organization gets shut down or their principals experience seriously bad Karma
