Fraud Alert

I do subscribe to a few magazines. I get them free for payment of filling out online surveys....Thus, when I got a letter/note, slip of paper saying, Notice of Renewal/New Order, your subscription is automatic with receipt of your payment should you choose to respond to this offer. please call customer service with any additional inquiries. see back of offer for additional details.

The subscription.. # YEARS at
$66.00
NOT A DEAL!

not the normal tactic of a magazine to renew. So I did a little searching, and you know... I was right...
SCAM!
here is a link to another person posting similar experience.

see? from the link, they received the renew notice from the magazine later that week.... so yeah...
Just thought I would give you all a heads up.
