That "truth faq" is not the truth as I've expierienced it. I've ordered about 20 magazines from various free sites and actually received subscriptions to about 12 of them. To date I have not had one charged to any of my credit card accounts, and believe me I would notice it if that did occur. Nor have I subscribed to any extended subscriptions.
Overall they've been good freebies.
As far as the junk mailings, I just toss 'em out.
