Last week I got a magazine on my desk. The office manager said it came in the mail for me. I'm not sure how it got here. My company is pretty cool in that they let us get personal packages sent to the office. So I get orders from Amazon, Pelican Parts, and Ebay pretty regularly. But I've never gotten any magazines here. I figured it was a fluke and threw the magazine away.

Today I got 2 more magazines. So I called one of the magazine companies and asked them how I got on their mailing list. She told me I had been subscribed via a third party. A company called Strategic Media. And she gave me a phone number to call. 877-266-6555. I called and I got a machine for a company called Magazine Service Center Where I went through a phone system until I though I was getting to talk to a human, only to get an opportunity to leave a voice mail. So I did and told them to unsubscribe me from these magazines.

I still don't know how I got signed up in the first place. Has anyone else had this happen? If so, how did you go about stopping them?
