I get tons of those in the mail, not to mention email.

Wait until they find out that you own cryptocurrency. You’ll get notices about crypto wallets and NFT’s that you’ve never heard of before.

Ah, the halcyon days of printed magazines.

I get urgent messages with “Final Notice” about my vehicle warranty. I don’t have a vehicle. I never have.

Checkbook – ha ha ha.

It’s clear why she has it and not him

That kind of thing used to drive me nuts… until I gave up magazines entirely

Your new car warranty is about to expire….

My daughter was ordering magazine’s then receive the cc bill, I went through them and cancelled each one. Then I was receiving magazines and I never ordered, I did not have time for those magazine’s, then I contacted the company, they showed I ordered, told them to send that card to me, yes I had my name in print, not my hand print style, forged signature, I got all that stopped.

Let it expire.

I like the small print… “in 10 years”

I almost fell for that recently.

Well, we all know that Roger isn’t the sharpest crayon in the box, so it isn’t surprising — not that he apparently can’t read the fine print, but that he doesn’t realize how long his subscription has to run.

Actually, this reminds me of a current situation with catalogues my wife gets in the mail (even though she orders from various companies online, they mail catalogues to her). Many of those are labeled: THIS MAY BE YOUR LAST CATALOG! Can’t say that message has ever made her rush to place an order.

The last few months before my wife died I took care of paying her bills. I noticed she had written several checks to Readers’ Digest. After she died I had to contact different groups to close her accounts, cancel subscriptions, etc. Readers’ Digest didn’t expire for 7 years. She had been renewing it every time they sent her a notice. To add insult to injury, after a year they started sending her renewal notices addressed to “Estate (my wife)”. They actually addressed her as “Estate” in the accompanying letters. “‘Estate’, your subscription is expiring.” “Be sure to renew, ‘Estate’.”

Subtle.

“Do you WANT to LOSE your account with us?!?!?”

Well, since I never had any, why not?
