I Call Shenanigans

Resolution to the magazine problem; however, I smell a rat. A big smelly rat.

Here’s my email to Hallmark magazine:
Original Message Follows: ————————
I have received two copies of Hallmark Magazine and do not wish to receive any more issues. I’m not even sure how you obtained my address but I am not interested in the magazine. I have thrown both copies directly into the recycle bin.

Here are the codes from the labels:XYZPDQ (changed to protect the innocent)

I can say with a great deal of confidence and honesty that I have never heard of that sales agency and I have NEVER opted in for a magazine offer from anyone, EVER. It is a personal policy of mine NEVER to do something like that. So someone is lying and it isn’t me.
