I accidentally suscribed to cosmogirl online. how do i undo it??

Question

i was entering a cosmogirl sweepstakes online (my older sister is already subscribed to the magazine) and i checked the box that said "click here for a free trial magazine of cosmogirl." i didnt think it would make me pay.

and somehow it started a whole new subscription to me and it wouldnt let me undo it! is there any way that i can unsuscribe online without having my mom be pissed about getting a bill for a magazine we already have?

Answer 1

Call them to explain and cancel

Answer 2

blame it on someone else, like a little sister or grandma

Answer 3

Dont pay them

Answer 4

I'm a big contest person too and that's happened to me.  Don't feel too badly about it.  A lot of times, these magazines hide their subscription info in all the fine print so you don't realize you're subscribing to it when you enter the contest.  For instance, I once got a magazine from Men's Health and an invoice saying I ordered it.  I am not a man.  Why would I order Men's Health?  Some magazine contests have their entry blanks pre-marked YES for a subscription and Cosmo is probably the worst one at doing that.  At any rate, what I do when this happens to me is wait until the invoice comes in, write CANCEL across it in big letters and send it back in the pre-paid envelope.  You should not be bothered any more by them.

The good thing is that once this happens to you, you are much more likely to not have it happen again as you look over all your contest entries from now very carefully.  Like I said, occasionally one might slip through though, but don't freak.  Just write CANCEL on the invoice and you won't have any problems.

Answer 5

The same thing happened to me and when my mom got the bill i acted suprised and she called the company and they canceled my subscription and didn't make me pay a dime.
