Among the items in my mail today was an envelope that contained a "Notice of renewal/New order" for "Consumer Reports."
I do subscribe to "Consumer Reports" magazine, but I was immediately suspicious of this item because it looked nothing like renewal notices I have received in the past for it. So, I found the customer service phone number for the magazine, and they quickly confirmed it's bogus.
Before I started this entry, I looked up on Google the name of the firm that is on the return envelope: "Magazine Payment Services." The first page of results had several items from other publications that had similar stories, such as this.
So, immediately after I post this I'm walking to my shredder and running this so-called renewal notice through it.
