Warning about THE NATION.

[pnwmom]

I had an online subscription for a period of time, till I ran into too many articles by questionable writers (e.g., writers who are dismissive of the Russia investigation). So I purposely didn't renew it.

Months after I failed to renew it, I got a dunning email, telling me I was late on renewing -- and FALSELY saying they had been sending me paper copies, and it was time for me to pay for them.

I think they're trying to dupe people who no longer want any subscription to keep paying for one.

1. Thanks for the heads-up. That stinks to high heaven. n/t

2. They haven't had a bad word to say about Russia since Stalin.

A slight exaggeration, but not by much.

3. (snort)

The Nation? Pro-Russian?

My goodness, whodathunkit, eh?

Next thing you know, we'll find out that Louise Mensch has been pulling stuff out of her ass for years.

4. Phone to be sure if you're worried. My least-favorite tactic is the "LAST NOTICE" envelope...

Big letters on the front making it sound like you have a fraudulent debt that's gone into collection, when all it is is a lapsed magazine subscription. Whoever had that bright idea should be slapped upside the head.

5. Onr good warning deserves another:

The Washington Post takes your c.c. #, then renews your subscription, charging you whatever they wish, with no notice at all, when your subscription period ends.

The only way I can see to avert this is to "cancel" your subscription soon after you subscribe. This doesn't cancel in the traditional sense; it just lets your subscription run, but prevents automatic renewal.

6. A fishing magazine tried the same thing with me. One call fixed it. If the person you talk to

doesn't help ask for a supervisor.
