Notice to Journal-News
Subscribers Regarding
Fraudulent Renewal Notices

 

This notice is to alert you that we have become aware of a nationwide scam that has affected subscribers to many publications, including the Journal-News.

A company that is not affiliated with the Journal-News and that is not authorized to solicit subscriptions or accept payments on our behalf has been mailing unauthorized notices to customers urging them to renew their subscriptions. The rates on the fraudulent notices are generally higher than available rates.

We want to protect you, our customer, by advising you the best way to identify these unauthorized notices, and ask that you DO NOT pay the unauthorized subscription renewal.

Here is more information to help you identify fraudulent renewal notices:

• The company may operate under many different names. You could see names including Associated Publishers Network, Readers Payment Service, publisherpayment.com, unitedpubex.com
• The unauthorized company may operate under other names including: Associated Publishers Subscription Services, Magazine Billing Network, Orbital Publishing Group, Publishers Billing Exchange and United Publishers Service
• Notices may reference a Renewal Notice, Notice of Renewal, or New Order and include a request to make checks payable to a company other than the Dayton Daily News.
• The unauthorized renewal offer directs payments to a PO Box on Lemmon Drive in Reno, Nevada, a PO Box in White City, Oregon or 850 S Boulder Hwy in Henderson, Nevada

Legitimate notices will direct subscription payments for the Journal-News to PO Box 742622, Cincinnati, Ohio 45274-2622, 1611 S. Main St., Dayton, OH 45409 or to 7320 Yankee Road, Liberty Township, Ohio 45044.

Please be aware that this is an industry wide problem that has affected many publishers and is not isolated to the Journal-News. We are working with state and federal authorities to stop this unauthorized activity.

Please be aware that we offer automatic renewal and that is the best way to avoid being deceived by a fraudulent renewal notice. To enroll in automatic renewal, please call Journal-News customer service at 1-877-267-0018.

If you receive a suspicious renewal notice that does not appear to be from the Journal-News, do not respond. Feel free to direct any questions to subscriptionfraudalert@coxinc.com or call us at 1-877-267-0018.

Thank you.
