Dear Fellow Birders, Having just returned from 10 days away and leaving again in the A.M. I was in the midst of catching up with any bills that I had to get paid. One was for my subscription to BIRDERS WORLD. I am receipt of a statement saying that I could continue my subscription at the "lowest available price" and with great convenience by sending in 1/2 of the cost this month and the rest in a second payment next month. The "check or money order" was to be made payable to SUBSCRIPTION BILLING, LLC, PO Box 6, Tarrytown, NY 10591-0006. They even gave me a tollfree number to call - - - - 1-888-454-1998.
The fact that I have had my subscription for some time and that in the past I had always dealt with the publisher, KALMBACH PUBLISHING of Waukesha, WI., made me suspicious so I called Kalmbach and guess what? The solicitor is a FRAUD! Please keep it in mind because the publisher has no idea just how they got hold of a list of subscribers but this is an ongoing problem being investigated, according to Kalmbach, by the States Attorney General. You have been warned!
