Why can you still check "bill me later" on those magazine subscription forms?

I've known more than one person to fill out the info of someone they don't like and check the "bill me later" box. The recipient usually can get out of paying, but it's a huge pain to call customer service and try to convince them you didn't order their rag.

FYI, I was not attempting to order a magazine and not pay. If you read the question, you'd see that I am concerned about pranksters signing people up for something they don't want.

Easy tiger. No need to call magazines rags....

Insert cards where the bill me later option appears are postage paid. You are not going to put your credit card number on the card that anyone including the Post Office can see...

This option gets people to subscribe and respond quickly. Most people who order magazines do pay for them.

It is a shame that people try to harass others by subscribing magazines. And you can ALWAYS cancel with no problem so long as you go through the proper channels. If this happens to you you should speak to Customer Services directly and tell them you will be prosecuting whomever is doing this and ask them to give you a copy of order document - if it was ordered on the internet get the IP address. People can be prosecuted for falsely signing up others for magazines...

They keep on bugging you and then stop giving you the magazine til you pay..u can't get away with it...reeally
