yes, a MDC*BETTER HOMES transaction appeared on my son's credit card. He is a 20-year old college student and would never have ordered this magazine. I think it was done premptively before fraud was committed to see if the card would "work" - right after that there were multiple fraudulent charges.

I have already reported this as a fraud issue to my bank and they are in the process of handling it once it has finished processing. This is illegal and fraud because I never had anything to do with better homes and gardens and never received anything but the free one offered. The company should do the right thing and stop the payment from processing, by company I mean Better Homes and Gardens, as because of this company my bank went into a negative amount. After reading all these reviews from people who also got fake charges like this I will alert my bank to this as well so they can try and protect their consumers from this company.

Also this occurred today (5/17/2016) in the amount of $12.00. Forgot to add that information. Be careful if it is a recurring charge, even a fraudulent one, it will occur again. My bank already made not in file and ensured that it would not happen again by placing stop payment to the company that this came from. The woman at the bank and myself have no idea how the company got my information to charge it as I never gave my bank account information or debit card information to the company. I think the company may have scammers working for them that find your information in different ways and place these fraudulent charges to people's credit cards or bank accounts.

On 5/17/16 our account was debited for 12.81 as a recurring payment from MDC Better Homes. We did not authorize this debit from our account and it sent us negative. Called the bank and reported it as fraud. It appears to be an attempt to draft payment for a magazine subscription, and we have not authorized any subscription renewal. We recieved a free subscription of better homes and gardens last year but did not have to provide card numbers to get it, so they should not have had my card number to run an autodraft with, so I do not believe this to be legitimately from better homes and gardens. I believe it is absolutely fraudulent. The free subscription we got does not auto renew, we have to ask them to renew it when they tell us our subscription is about to expire, and then actively pay for it ourselves with knowledge and intention, not with some "recurring" auto draft by dark of night. My bank has issued a credit that should post in a few days and have begun investigation.

In the last 2 days I have an unauthorized charge on my credit card of $12.91. I presume the following is the account number 803060000 and the phone number 800-374-4244

$12 was fraudulently charged to my account by MDC Shape. I called my bank, they were able to give me the number of the place that did the charge. It is 800-888-1181 (at least for my charge). I was connected to Fitness Magazines line. I asked to speak to a representative, explained that I had been billed for something I did not purchase. She apologized and stayed that the charge would be reimbursed to my account within 3-4 business days. This just happened so I am waiting to see if it is reimbursed. If not I will be calling again as well as letting my bank know the situation. Take action against this. It may be a small charge but it is still fraudulent!

Just got a charge of 12.81 that I did not authorize from MDC BetterHomes. Apparently they are auto renewing your subscription with out your approval. They said they will reimburse the charge, but they just lost my business.
