A month or so ago I responded via Email to the above offer sent to the
Sunbeam Tiger information group. Eventually I did receive my free issue,
which I enjoyed.
Today, May 18, 2000, I received a "Subscription Invoice" for $17.95 from
Grassroots Motorsports which "Includes all account activity through: May 4
00." I was surprised to learn that this was Notice # 101000504$SOFT, that my
account # was 49522, and my order # was 87323.
The invoice was accompanied by a letter from the publisher, which read in
part:
"Thank you for your subscription order. By now you should have gotten your
first issue of GRASSROOTS MOTORSPORTS -- if not, it will be along
shortly.........If you have already sent in your payment, we thank you and
ask that you please disregard this notice."
This correspondence strikes me as a blatent, backhanded solicitation which
borders on unethical. Accordingly, I will disregard it. I hope that other
members of the Tiger community have not had an experience similar to mine!
