Buyer Beware – Phony Subscription Renewal Notice

This is an interesting little piece of information I think more of us knitters should know about.  I received a bill in the mail for a subscription renewal to Knit ‘N Style.  I actually don’t recall ever even knowing about that magazine, but wondered if maybe it had just slipped my mind that, one day in my Internet travels, I’d clicked up a subscription to a new knitting magazine.  So, I surfed on over to the Knit ‘N Style web site.

As it turns out this great subscription price I’d just been offered in the mail was about an extra $20 over what Knit ‘N Style offers on their web site.  And then we noticed a “Reader Alert” on their information page!

Knit ‘N Style Subscription Information.

So it would have been money lost (or at the very least really hard to get back!) if we hadn’t checked.  So, don’t just mindlessly pay your subscription renewals, especially if you don’t remember subscribing!

Thank you Knit ‘N Style for the heads up!  (Looks like a nice mag, by the way!)

Wow, now that is a new one, subscriber fraud through the mail. I would think that is actually mail fraud and could be prosecuted by the federal government!
