Random magazine subscriptions in my name: should I be concerned?
I have randomly been receiving magazines, to which I have not subscribed.
First, it was Family Circle about 14 mos. ago...then Self last summer...and today, I received a giant copy of 'W' with my address on it. 
The Family Circle I wrote off as likely a 'helpful' gift from my mom (recipes and whatnot, and it was around the holidays last year) but when the Self magazine started arriving, it made me raise an eyebrow.
When Domino folded a year (or two?) ago, they unhelpfully substituted Glamour (yaaay), so I've been receiving that for an eon, but these others I can't explain. I'll admit, we've had so much going on this year that I've sort of swept this under the rug b/c I'm not even sure that this is really a problem...
I'm about to get on the phone to see if I can figure out why I'm getting all of these in the mail, but was curious if anybody else has had this happen? Or know of a reason this should concern me?

Above Us Only Sky
This is sort of what I'm suspecting...but I got nervous after talking with a CW who's college aged son had sort of a combo of the responses I've gotten, which were scam/didn't get charged right away but did after the fact... I can't figure out how that would happen, but like I say, the whole sweeping it under the rug approach isn't doing anything to quiet the WTF vibe I'm getting every time I open my mailbox...

I'd be happy to receive free magazines.
Am I missing something?
A few months ago I started receiving GQ each month. I really don't know how it started, but I know I didn't sign up for it.
I remember being a teen and for some reason we got Seventeen sent to our house every month for like 3 years. Never ordered it, never paid for it.
The same thing happened a few years ago with Cosmo.
Weird. We get Handyman and Science Today, which were both gifts at one point (years ago), but now I don't know who is paying for them. Not us!
I'd actually rather have magazines appear in the mailbox than the constant stream of random catalogs I get sometimes.
Bullet through window
And down the rabbit hole
Thank you guys for this thread. I have been throwing out the Allure magizine that my husband has been receiving the last three months and I have been getting icreasingly curios/creeped out. He bought me a flat iron from Folica for xmas. THIS EXPLAINS EVERYTHING. Now I know for sure that he hasn't taken on a lover or started cross-dressing.
It looks like you have been on boards here for a while now, which means you should know the unwritten rules. Do not comment on a post that is from 2 years ago- heck even 6 months ago is too old. If you have something to say, start your own thread.
