hi Racer,
I'm so sorry that somebody is messing with you! I have not had this happen, but I can understand how unsettling it could be. Actually one time we had something SORT of similar. Someone called up the phone company and had our phone number changed!!! Without our permission, knowledge, or OK! It was scary and weird. It never happened again, and we just assumed it was some "dumb punks" trying to have fun. WE didn't have enemies, or anything - so we must have just gotten on the unlucky end of someone's stupid prank spree hour.Maybe that is what happened to you. Someone is just being stupid and doing pranks randomly, and you got on the receiving end. Hopefully that's all it is.
Or is it possible that the magazines THEMSELVES are trying to drum up more customers by "force selling"?
Also, I once bought something at Best Buy and the offered some kind of free magazine deal, and almost forced me to sign up with my credit card. Is it possible that some store or business you visited is trying to do business in a weird way, and signed you up w/out your permission?
I'm sorry this happened. I hope it stops!
