(Jun 25, 2003) -- NEWINGTON, CT. Somebody out there is trying to "sell" 
subscriptions to QST, but it's not the ARRL. ARRL Customer Service/Circulation 
Manager Kathy Capodicasa, N1GZO, said she has received several phone calls and 
e-mails from members reporting the scam."Apparently, there is some kind of bogus 
telephone solicitor out there trying to get people's names, addresses and 
credit card numbers," she said. "ARRL does not solicit for 'subscriptions' to QST. 
Under no circumstances should a member give out their credit card numbers to 
someone trying to sell them QST."QST is the official membership journal of the 
ARRL and is not available to the general public from a magazine distributor 
or publishing house. Should you receive a call from the phony solicitor, 
Capodicasa asks that you try to get the solicitor's name and check the caller ID 
box, if one is installed, for the caller's number. The information can be 
e-mailed to her at <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A>, or you can reach her at 860-594-0257.
