Great New NHRA record of the month scam

[Tim Ellis]

Nhra is trying the record of the month scam with their new DVD, only problem is, you dont even order the first one! I just got their 50th anniv dvd in the mail. Scam is that if you dont take the time, or forget to send it back, they charge you $12.95, Then keep shipping you MORE!

Tim,

Here's what I could find on the general rules regarding unsolicited mail.

By way of general information, consumers or businesses that receive merchandise by mail which
they do not believe they ordered, should first double check to be sure it was not ordered by a
relative or co-worker. If it was not in fact ordered, the following are included in Federal Trade
Commission Rules relating to mail order: Generally it is only permissible to send unsolicited items
which are clearly marked free samples or sent in conjunction with a charitable solicitation. And,
recipients of unsolicited merchandise are under no obligation to pay for items received. In
addition, the recipient is not obligated to pay to return items if they were in fact not ordered.
The BBB suggests that a proper course of action is to write the sender and ask for verification
that the merchandise was ordered. Also notify the sender that unless the sender verifies that it
was ordered or makes arrangements to have the merchandise returned at their expense, you will
consider it as an unconditional gift.

If they don't show the proof upon your request but continue to send bills, contact the BBB and the Postmaster at your Post Office.

Hope that helps.

Good information. I once had this happen with a book of the month club. I didn't order any books but they kept sending me and billing me for books. After many attempts to tell them they made a mistake and to stop sending me the books they threatened to sue. Long story short, I won. They paid me for mental anguish and my attorney fees.

You can also have your credit card company refuse payment to them. Jim

I knew a guy that got PO'd at somebody. So he went to his local newstand and ripped out the postage paid subscription cards from EVERY magazine and signed up the guy. Can you imagine the butt ache he caused?

uspo says if it was mailed to you at your correct address and you did not order it you can keep it free....
