Just remember, any time you are offered something free on the internet -- YOU are the product. There are databases with all our information, what we like, what we have bought,, etc. as well as our addresses. It is a fact of life in the 21st century.

One way to trace this is by using different names for each of the magazines you actually subscribe to. Maybe put in a middle initial or use a different spelling for your first name. That way you'll know immediately who sold your name.

I received one last year and then got a bill for it a couple of months later. I complained and kept it because I did not order it.

I apologize if someone has already said this (I didn't read the entire thread) but be careful ... I got an unsoliticed CD once and it was infected with a virus. Luckily I thought to run a virus scan on it before I opened it. I sent it back with a not-so-nice note about not appreciating receiving an infected CD and never heard a work from them.

my sister got one a couple years ago and trashed it without opening it and then was hounded for payment. So when I got one I knew enough to open it and return it. Also a couple years ago I got something that looked exactly like an invoice for Fons & Porter's mag, which I didn't remember (re)subscribing to, but ... Anyway, in the corner in very small print it said "not an invoice." I guess they were hoping people would think they had subscribed and had forgotten about it.

Be careful with magazine subscriptions also. BH&G and GH both keep sending mags after the subscription has run out and then hound you for payment. In small print so you dont notice it they say they will extend the subscription.
So far no quilting mags are doing this that I know of but I will never subscribe to the above mags again.
I have gotten the Fons and Porter dvd just recently and another time long ago. Did not send them back. They are hounding me once again.
Ive been upsett with F&P since they bought Qnntv and started charging for it. It was free before.

Yes, Fons & Porter did the same thing. If they send you something that you did not ask for, you have no obligation to return it or pay for it or do anything. Don't let their threats scare you. By the way, Fons & Porter, the quilters no longer own their magazine. It was bought out by a conglomerate who are into a variety of businesses, by crafting seems to be one of the interests
