I joined because I wanted the magazine, but I doubt they will get any
more of my money. There are enough companys using shady methods of doing
business without me helping them to do it. It's like feeding the troll.

You didn't ask for it, so why go to all the trouble to return it? Actions
such as yours help keep scams like this alive.


It wasn't any trouble to return it, just put it into a postage-paid,
B.A.S.S.-supplied package and drop it in a mailbox. Maybe this is just
semantics, but I don't view it as a scam. It might be a business practice
some of us don't care for, but the book was received from an organization we
belong to, and they didn't try to hide the fact that we didn't have to
return it.
