mercury delivery services

Definitely a SCAM company! Received a cold call about them doing a free subscription trial. They already had my address. I gave them my name. After a few weeks no trial subscription came. However, they did send me a $50 bill with no explanation besides saying my subscription will be automatically renewed and billed unless I called to cancel. Not all scams phone are located overseas it turns out.

Read the paper today. This news outlet is bad local news. Fact checked the mercury paper and there is a lot of false information in there. Very biased news paper. No real information with mercury that's for sure.

One of the worst & deceptive business around. They send college studying kids for donation in the promise of paying their tution. Infact no one knows if these students ever get paid. You want to help someone in need & the student issues you a receipt. Student says someone will call for confirming the donation. Infact this fraud business will call & informs you about subscription. I told them I am not interested & just help the student what they promised. After few days this business sends me the notice asking for subscription due. Hilarious. I havent subscribed in the first place. Someone has to shut down this con business for good. I wont be helping anymore students who claim to get tution support from this business.

SJ Mercury News held an event at my local grocery store at the beginning of this year providing coupons for the local store if you purchased a T shirt or Hoodie from them to support the local paper. This was a purchase for ONE sweatshirt. At the time of purchase, they stored my credit card information without my consent or any signature from me, and never once mentioned that my card would be charged for anything other than the sweatshirt I purchased. I have made several attempts to resolve this with SJMN directly, and have been met with nothing but lies and continued fraud. I have been told that the charges to my card would be reviewed and reversed, the erroneous account closed and my card information removed from their system, but here we are NINE MONTHS later and I am STILL being charged (many months I’ve even been charged twice) against my consent. SJMN has refused to send me ANY confirmation in writing of the cancellation of the account and clearly has not held their word with regard to removing my information. This is 100% fraudulent and now very clearly an issue of theft. As the originator of these ACH transactions, It is their responsibility to verify the receiver's authorization of the ACH transaction and keep a copy of the receiver's authorization on file for two years. I would seriously urge anyone with an account with them to review their statements with a fine tooth comb and better yet, cancel all together. Crooks.

If only there's a way to post minus 5 stars, I would do that. I canceled the subscription on 1/12/2019 and was told I could not get a refund but had to let it run out. The paper stopped being delivered the next day and since then I've called five times, each time being told a refund of $275.62 would be processed for me. The sixth time, just 10 minutes ago, I was told I could not get a refund and could only get the paper delivered again. I understand they may be on their last breath, but still they could have been honest and I'd be okay with that the first time.
