Magazine subscription scams

Magazine Subscription scams are some  kind of invoice scams where the scammer sends you fake invoices for the magazines you have subscribed to or for magazines you have never heard of.

What is the scam about? All of us subscribe to magazines time and again. If you subscribed to a lot of magazines, the scammer can get to know about your subscription list somehow and then, send you fake invoices. He can create a duplicate invoice of the magazine and even add a fake letter to it saying they have changed the subscription date. He can offer you subscription for a cheaper price (for 10 years or 1 year) and bill you a chunk of money.

Magazine Subscription invoice scams happen with a slight variation too. The scammer sends you an invoice that looks like the invoice of a magazine to which you have subscribed. You pay without reading through the details. But if you notice, the invoice may actually be a request for a new magazine that looks like an exact replica of one you have already subscribed. There maybe a slight difference between the names of both the magazines.
Another variation of the scam is done by the magazine companies itself. You are charged extra without your notice. When you look into the extras, you are told that you have been billed for an extra supplement you never wanted/asked for.
