Default Magazine renewal Scam

A new scam is out and about. I just received a renewal offer for "Quilt Trends" magazine from a company calling itself Publisher's Billing Exchange with a White City, Oregon PO Box.
There are several reasons I know it's a fraud:

1. I previously received a supposed renewal notice for my local paper from this same company and address
2. The big tip-off for both is the prices quoted for renewal are stratospheric in comparison to the real prices
3. I tried to find Quilt Trends magazine online and it looks like it is out of business. I can find old issues to buy, but the website came up as for sale.
