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! :roll:

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!

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. :idea:

Which would explain the over the top price.
