I received one for my cross-stitcher mag...and forwarded the letter to
the publishers. It was one of the Las Vegas addresses.

Default Scam for magazine subscription renewal

...
I got a couple bills from the same company on the same day ... one of
which was for a magazine I don't subscribe to. Hence, was sure it was a
scam.

I'll rummage and see if they're still in the recycling bin or if they
were already taken away.

Every time I get one of those, into the trash for shredding it goes. I
recall reading one of them once, and IIRC, if you sent it back, you were in
effect voluntarilly subscribing to the magazine through their service.
Technically legal, but rather a sneaky way to get your business, IMO.

Happy Holidays to All on RCTN.
