RE: League Warns of Bogus Solicitation

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 n1gzo@arrl.org, or you can reach
her at 860-594-0257.
