Sciolist, you are definitely right on the money, just did some research on this organization and this was what I found
Still whaling despite the commercial whaling moratorium enacted in 1986.
N.P.M.C. - Black & White Postcards - BUSTED!!!
Recieve any postcards that fit that description lately? I did, 1 with 2 peanut-shaped cartoon figures explaining: "We're going nuts trying to reach you!!" (-ATT. READERS!: Remember that something official will have a look & feel of being official upon it. Not a simple black & white post card that U or I could spit out w/a computer, postage software, a decent printer, the right paper stock & a mailing list. If it was an official prize, that prize would B stated along w/a phrase similar 2: "This is not a scam or attempt to get you to purchase something. You have won this prize free and clear of all charges. etc..." Turns out it's an attempt 2 sell mag. subscriptions in the guise of a contest ($25,000.00, a Ford Explorer or Trip for 2 to Hawaii, + 2 free mag. subscriptions for 48 wks). (-ATT. READERS!: Notice they use month terms vs. year terms, a manip. meant 2 make it seem like a lot 4 a little.) After they get your I-d verification & inform U that you've won a quartz watch & 2 mag. subscriptions, the hard sell comes🙁-ATT. READERS!: The only new thing they learned from me was my phone #, but that's ok because I have caller I-d & Voicemail. Give them your cell phone # or a false 1 if U don't want 2 give yours out. I sometimes give out my cell phone # to these co.'s just 4 the oppurtunity of an unexpected phone call in a public place -gives 1 a sense of importance & helps take the mind off social anxiety.)
"Name some of your favorite choices as following: sports, news, computers, etc..." I chose sports & computers, the reply: "Sir, I am further authorized to send you ESPN the Magazine & PC World for 48 weeks. Now that's the quartz watch, 4 magazines and the subscription gifts that come with them, all for $4.95 a week..." @ which pt. I interrupted: "Hold on just a second. Let me stop you right there. I'm not going to pay for anything" which was met with: Thank you for your time, sir. Have a nice day. `click'...."
For a second there I thought I might have been important =)
