Backpacker magazine
Billed me for unwanted, unrequested subscription

I received a bill, invoice, for a subscription to Backpacker Magazine which I did not request or otherwise subscribe to. While searching the internet for day hike locations in my area a window opened up saying something about subscribing to Backpacker Magazine or something to that effect. I closed that window and cleared cache and temporary internet files to delete any cookies or information related to it. Several days went by and then I received a bill from Backpacker Magazine for a new subscription, thanking me for subscribing, and saying a free gift was on it's way as well. The payment is to be mailed to Backpacker, P.O. Box 422481, Palm Coast, FL. 32142-2481
A search of their web site did not yield any mailing address or home office address to refute this subscription. A phone number is given, 1-800-666-3434 which I will try to call and cancel the subscription Monday, 4Arp11.
They were able to get my name and home address from the internet some how without my having registered or otherwise filled out a subscription request online giving them my address.
