BS Magazine Subscription ! !

[CorCentral]

I just recieved a Magazine in the mail today & I really don't know How or Why I recieved it . It's called BLENDER (music/band related) Punk A** crap .
I went to thier website but could not find an email address to complain to . It says on the Mag that I'm subscribed 'till Jul '04 !

Probably recieved like a postcard type thing in the mail saying : If you wish to "NOT" to recieve this subscription , please write cancel on card & send back .
This type of crap should be ILLEGAL !

I will not pay them if that's the deal ............... Stick it BLENDER @!!@#!@#

Anyone have any similar like this happen to you ? What can you do to reverse this ?

I think blender is from the makers of Maxim, they're giving subscriptions away. I'm not sure you'll be charged for it.

If they send you a bill just write cancel on it and return it.

Hmmmm , I do remember that my Girlfriend's roomate had a subscription to MAXIM at this address , that may be what it is . If I recieve a Bill , I will definatley write cancel & return

find the magazine's 'billboard' inside the first few pages. it has a listing of who publishes it, the address to
write to regarding advertising, and most of all, subscription information contacts (usually includes a phone number).
usually, these inadvertant subscriptions are the result of some sort of scammer getting into your trash bin and going
through your junk mail to get your name with your address and mailing in subscription cards. This happened to me
at least 4 times over the years. I still get these scammers trying the same thing with junk mail addressed to the
previous resident of my apartment.

BTW, the goal of the scammer in my cases was he would do this to people who were smart enough not to leave their
power, electric, or credit card bills in the dumpster and not give him stuff to commit i.d. theft with. Got caught about a
year ago after many people complained to the local bunko squad. Supposedly got 5 years plus time for parole violations.

Shred and burn. Especially if your area has lots of dumpster divers not pushing carts around.

I've been getting it free for a while. You didn't sign up in HOT DEALS and forget or something did you?

I don't have ANY mag subscriptions except Playboy , Hustler , Penthouse , Chic & a few others ! (joking)
Seriously though I don't have any .

Blender, maxim, stuff, and gear are all retarded.

I've been getting Maxim and Stuff for free for the past 4 years. I have no idea where it's coming from.

Esquire is the end-all, be-all of men's magazines. The other ones are just a half-step above Mad Magazine.

I've been getting lots of crap I never ordered. Golf, Plane & Pilot, GQ, TV Guide, etc. Every other month I receive "renewal notices" (which of course I don't pay) saying the subscriptions are ending, but they never do. One time they billed me for a "gift" subscription that I never bought sent to my parents.

I think the scam is you are supposed to not realize you never ordered the crap and "renew" it.

If you didn't ask for it you don't have to pay for it.
