• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Magazine Suscription Scams

I have received a number of magazine solicitations flooding my mail box, be advised these companies will send you a magazine suscription solicitation in the mail which you toss...later they send you a bill for these magazines you never wanted or asked for...next a collection agency theatens you with legal action unless you pay...I received a letter from a collection agency for Field and Stream magazine which I never asked for they never sent me a single issue, the collection agency told me to pay up or else. I went to a lawyer he said write them a letter and aske them for the suscription card with my name and signature on it and if they persist in this fraud to contact him. So be careful and be alert, if the companies solicit you for buying a magazine, make a copy of the forum they sent you and send them a letter saying no, this scam is nation wide and Field and Stream is just one of them.

Reader's Digest did that to me about 10 years ago. Not only did I chew ass from the grunt floor on up, I did it on their nickel. Needless to say, I won't even consider buying at a store. A friend said the same thing happened with Flying magazine, but I've no first hand knowledge.

That crap really chokes my chicken.
