I still live at home...soooo when an unexpected post card came in consisting of a phone sex ad I wasnt too happy. I did some research, turns out, the post card came from maxim/stuff free offers I signed up for. so guys, watch out....

In addition, I just received a phone call from someone asking if I would like to continue my subscription, she was acting like I was going to be billed for the free issues.

Just a warning, if you live by yourself, you may not mind.
 
I'm 19 so I still live with my parents, and I have the same name as my dad. When I get that shit in the mail, my mom automatically assumes its for my dad. Funny.
 
A couple of months after I turned 18 I got one of those Playboy ads in the mail, my mom just laughed. She has no problem with Maxim/Stuff type mags but if it was for some hardcore stuff I'm sure she'll mind.
 
oh shit.. at least i wont have to see whoever distributes the mail at the campus box office..
 
Yeah, I got one of those post cards too, and I was pretty pissed. Speaking that I never got my Stuff mags. Then about two weeks later, I ended up with four issues of Stuff. I haven't gotten any more mail or phone calls from them.

Haha. I bet that's bitin' him in the ass now.
 
I got one of the Playboy ads in the mail the other day but just tossed it out.

Last August, about 3 months after I signed up for my free Maxim and Stuff (since then I've signed up so many times that I have about 8 years free), I got a phone call from a Maxim telemarketer asking if I wanted to renew "at the low rate of $1.50 (or something close) an issue." I told him I was already enjoying Maxim "at the low rate of free for the next two years." He said that was great and hung up.
 
wait...which one does this come from? complimentarymagazines or discountmags?


Oui. Why am I sucker for free things?

lol, I think I have like 4 years free on both of them

and who uses their real phone number when signing up for this stuff?
 
I hate to say, but I use my cell phone number when doing free crap online, but I use my cats name. It just makes me giggle everytime they ask to speak to Tesi and I do hand the phone to my cat. I will then rub her head, so she purrs loudly for the fine telemarketer. Still makes me laugh.
 
My roomate got that postcard. We keep it by the breadbasket in the kitchen and he tells everyone it's his gf or sister. Funny when the gullible ones believe him and try to be "nice" and not mention how she looks trashy. lol

Hilarious.

I feel a little better about missin out on the free magss.. Just a little.
 
I always knew that more than just the magazine itself would come in your mail, I thought we all knew about this...
 
Yes we all knew that....but phone sex ads? Thats a completly different thing.....because it implys that im a dirty pervert, which my parents need not to know because I am a dirty pervert :p They could careless about the stuff/maxim.
 
I got a postcard in my p.o.box the other day for a number to get a free video of some porn star. I got pissed and went to a payphone and asked to be taken off the mailing list...
 
I hope the Newegg motherboard deal doesn't turn out to be this much of a pain. The rebate .pdf flip-flop was already a mess!
 
I had my mail forwarded home since i was in between leases at college. So my mom should get a good laugh at that.

Luckily though when i signed up for the free issues of Stuff i did not give them any kinda of payment method. One lady tried to call once and said "Hey baby, are you enjoying your subscription to stuff?" talking all sexy like. I laughed on the phone i think. I just told her i'm getting the subscription for free and will not renew it and then basically said bye and hung up the phone.. didnt give her a chance to do her sales pitch.
 
I didn't sign up for the Maxim/Stuff subscriptions, but a short while back I got a post card saying how I could get free strippers.:rolleyes:
 
Yep, I got that postcard too. I don't really care, and my fiance just laughs at me getting that stuff the mail anyway. I don't really mind, considering my label says I have a subscription to Stuff until August 2008
 
Jesus, why don't you guys learn to put fake names on there. I get soooo much mail for Yohan Vasquez that its not even funny. But you know what? I see that name on a piece of mail and instantly I recognize it as junk and throw it out... unless its all of the free magazines I get every month!

What is interesting though is that while the address I use is my home address, the name and phone number are always fake. So I found it really odd that within the past year I have started receiving phone calls for Yohan Vasquez. The only thing I can think of is that they did a search for the address and found my cell phone number associated with this address.

No, lets not :p

Still: does this come with the complimentarymagazines or discountmags?... i'm leaning towards discountmags (just because I didnt sign up for that)..

Oh and college does allow ....magazines to be delivered right?

MEOW!

I really need to try this with my friend's puppy....his dad is always subscribing to these sort of things, and the barking would no doubt surprise those on the other end.
I wonder what I would be sent for "maximumPC".....
 
...funny how some Tyler Durdan dude keeps getting his magazines and other junk mail sent to my house :innocent: :D

It's US mail...it's federal offense to tamper with it.
