Avoid Any Mail from White City, Oregon

The folk doing business under a multitude of names from White City, Oregon, are even worse than I thought.  Recently someone posted this comment on an earlier post, which deserves more prominence:

American Preferred Readers are a scam. My 75 year old mother is being harassed daily by this company. She is being told that she has a contract and they can substantiate that by a taped recording of her and if she doesn't pay she will sent to a collection agency. This has been very stressful for her. Unfortunately, She has paid them almost $400.00 thinking they would finally leave her alone before our family found out about this situation. Despicable!

They operate under dozens of names.  Here is only a partial list, courtesy of The Nation:

1. Billing Services Association
2. Billing Services of America
3. Circulation Billing Center
4. Circulation Billing Services
5. Magazine Billing Services
6. Magazine Billing Network
7. Magazine Billing Services
8. Magazine Distribution Services
9. National Magazine Services
10. National Magazine Subscriptions
11. Orbital Publishing Group
12. Periodical Billing Services

Avoid anything having to do with magazine subscription offers that come from White City, Oregon.
