URGENT WARNING!

[Feather]

I usually allow my subscriptions to lapse, then take advantage of whatever freebies they offer for new subscriptions.

I get these notices in the mail all the time trying to get me to renew a subscription that is already paid up 5 years in advance -- I just throw them into the trash unopened now because I recognize the return address as a fraudulent company.

I think it's called "generating cash flow"

With the way magazine companies constantly ask for payment long in advance of actual lapse, I'm not surprised that "pay now scams" have surfaced. Every week I have another magazine subscription notice telling me that "it's time to resubscribe now or suffer a subscription loss." What crap! Not only this company, almost all of them. These guys offer nothing to the consumer by taking payment early, there is no benifit to paying early and often. Ooops, yes there is, my money and yours in someone else's bank accounts...........

You may be contacted by unauthorized companies asking you to renew your subscription. Two that we are aware of are Publishers Service Exchange and United Publishers Network. These Companies are NOT authorized to represent Kalmbach Publishing Co. and are NOT affiliated with us in any way.

DO NOT RENEW your subscription with any phone solicitor. Authentic renewals will only come from a PO Box in Milwaukee or Waukesha, WI. Most importantly, do not give them your credit card information or payment of any kind.

This is a note from Kalmbach Publishing Co.
