So I got a notice in the mail that read in big bold black words

Your IMMEDIATE Attention is needed. Please send payment Promptly.

In big red letters

PAST DUE

I began to look through my bills to see what are earth was going on and who I owed this almost $80 to. And then I decided, "Hey genius, look and see who sent this to you." I did. It was from Charisma magazine.

It wasn't a past due notice. It was a subscription. I had subscribed almost 7 years ago and never renewed. Now I remember why I didn't renew.

It's pretty pathetic when the only way you can get people to sign up for your magazine is to try and TRICK THEM!

Whew. I was afraid you were going to say Victory magazine.

80$ for a magazine!!!!??

Yeah, you can tell it's run by WOF people.

We got the SAME THING in the mail. Well, Tim did. He had subscribed to it way before we got married! They must be desperate!

$80! That better come with some old school White Wing healing power or something!

This is a scam originating from outside the company. It happens.

Someone else trying to sale subscriptions on comission or something?

No. What I think happens is someone gets a hold of a subscription list from years and years ago and uses it as a scam. I know I have gotten emails from people wondering where their magazines are because they sent in money but it was someone disguising themself as a company rep.

Scary...that's offline phishing.

Which would explain the over the top price.

and why we are all getting them at the same time.
