My finance got a nasty surprise when she was shopping last week. A store clerk asked her if she would like 3 free magazines. When she got home she discovered how nasty getting out of those “free” subscriptions is.

She got to call an automated line 1-877-754-4894 and jump through some deep voice response menus to get anywhere. Even then based on my Googling there is no guarantee that the subscriptions have been cancelled.

In short beware of anything free.
