So I checked my mailbox a moment ago and noticed a letter from G&A, marked "Immediate Attention Required". I have never had dealings with G&A, and my first thought was that it was just another magazine subscription offer.
Imagine my surprise when I opened it and discovered it was a "Magazine Subscription Invoice" from their "Billling Center" requesting that I pay the "Amount Due" of $9 for a one-year, 12-issue subscription. The invoice goes on to thank me for my order, and indicates that I should be receiving my first issue soon. It also asks me to verify that my name and address are correct.
Hmm... strange. I do not recall ever having sent in for a subscription to G&A. And even if I did want to subscribe to a gun magazine, G&A would not even be a consideration.
It's quite obvious that this "Magazine Subscription Invoice" is nothing more than a deceptive marketing ploy to net unsuspecting subscribers. I'm sure G&A isn't the only magazine to have sunk to such lows to drum up business.
So what should I do with this "invoice"? Ignore it? Send it back in the supplied envelope (sans postage so they have to pay for it) with a tersely worded admonishment?
