Am I getting scammed? (Read 542 times)

Not necessarily. It could be that someone else tried to cancel their subscription, but that in the process a number got transcribed and your subscription was cancelled instead. I would send them a letter, with a copy of the original receipt attached, explaining that neither you nor your husband were responsible for the original cancellation (your attempts to resolve the matter i.e. through this letter and your earlier phone calls should be sufficient evidence of this) and that you expect the subscription to be honored under its original terms - even if that requires the original charge to be re-stated to your account. (I'm not in that industry so I can't say for sure, but I believe subscription fees don't pay for much beyond the distribution costs. Advertising is responsible for most of the revenue. That's one of the biggest reasons why magazines can offer their "75% off the cover price" deals so often.)
