League Warns of Bogus Solicitation

omebody out there is trying  to "sell" subscript-ions to QST, but it's not the ARRL. ARRL Customer Service/Circulation Manager Kathy  Capodicasa, N1GZO, said she has received several phone calls and e-mails from members reporting the  scam. "Apparently, there is some kind of bogus tele-phone solicitor out there trying to get people's names,  addresses and credit card numbers," she said. "ARRL does not solicit for 'sub-scriptions' to QST. Under no  circumstances should a member give out their credit card numbers to someone trying to sell them QST. "QST is  the official member-ship journal of the ARRL and is not available to the general public from a magazine distributor or publishing house. Should you receive a call from the phony soli-citor, Capodicasa asks that you try to get the solicitor's name and check the caller ID box, if one is installed, for the caller's number. The information can be e-mailed to her at n1gzo@arrl.org, or you can reach her at 860-594-0257.
