[K3PZN-List] WARNING: BOGUS SOLICITATION FOR QST

[Al Bisasky]

Members,

Just in case you don't read the ARRL website...

League Warns of Bogus Solicitation (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 n1gzo@arrl.org, or you can reach her at 860-594-0257.
