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.

Take care, 73,
Pat, KD4PWL
