Just got an offer from Publishers Billing Exchange to renew my subscription to Woodturning Design for $99.97 for two years.

What a deal, only $40 MORE then renewing direct :eek:

That is assuming Woodturning Design would actually see the $59.97

I wonder what out-dated subscriber list they got a-hold of. I dropped my subscription several years ago.

I got the same mailing. I put it file 13. I have not renewed Woodturning Design in years.

Seems the question is " how they get the mailing list and was there any other info compromised?

Guess if you are going to run a scam, no point in running a cheap scam?
