Readers Digest
Predatory Practices

I am very concerned about what readers digest is doing. They are already in trouble in Australia for sending unsolicited magazines to people and then sending threatening bills! I received such a bill, I called and was told to just ignore the bill, the account had been canceled. I never ordered the magazine and I never cancelled it either. I think they are trying to take advantage of peoples busy lifestyles and hoping they will just pay the bill. Please warn any elderly relatives about this as they are the most susceptable to this. Especially when they get a bill that says, and I quote:

" By failing to pay the sum of $15.98 now seriously overdue in regard to several issues of a magazine subscription mailed to the above address, we assume that there is no doubt that you owe the amount shown on the attached bill. It is our responsibility to collect.

Take notice, we are giving you this last opportunity to make payment to us. So that we may both avoid unnecessary expense, we strongly urge you to MAIL YOUR PAYMENT TODAY in the enclosed reply envelope."

Can you imagine an elderly person getting that! Spread the word!
Thanks
