Mystic Stamp Company *******s!
I am not currently nor have I ever collected stamps
yet the "Mystic Stamp Company" is sending me packages of stamps telling me to pay or send them back. I told my wife to pitch them, then they send me a bill stating I never paid for stamps. Then we get a second "pay or send back package". So she sends them back telling them not to send anymore. Now they do it a third time. What is it with this place that they think they can extort money from me? Is this place a big scam company or what? I'm pretty ****ed off at them right now. I'm reporting them to the BBB right now. Is this place know for this type of behavior? |

Imagine this... right from http:/www.bbb.org "Our records indicate a pattern of complaints from consumers who report receiving unordered merchandise and problems with credit/billing procedures." |

Hey - the dude is still trying to pay off the Franklin "Grill" stamp he "bought" a while back. Guess who's subsiding it? Hmmm? |

The law allows you to keep any unordered merchandise with no obligation.
Instead of throwing them out, perhaps you could have given them to a young collector, but without Mystic's name, so that he couldn't go to them to be scammed. Tony "asdf" wrote in message link.net...

Not knowing anything about stamps and due to the fact that Mystic Stamp Company was scamming me I assumed they were probably fake. |

Did you contact them for a catalog or similar? Almost any contact with
them will net you 'approvals' which is what you are getting. If you didn't then someone else did in your name. After maybe 6-8 mailings from them that you return they stop sending stuff. At least they pay for the return postage unlike most places with 'approvals'. FWIW, they do have a really nice catalog!

Grandpa Forty-some years ago I worked for a mail-order company that sold their line through recruited salesmen. One day the office manager received an indignant letter from someone who objected to receiving our catalogs and sales literature. The manager had someone look up the original card, which he returned to the complainant together with a letter stating that his name had been removed from our records. David Ames |

Dave Hmmm, something tells me that ASDF is a TROLL & spammer. Only one post to this NG and thats a lot of trouble to go thru just to whine about one company. Would you go thru that trouble to post? Doing an advanced Google for his entire email addr shows him in boatloads of different NGs. |

I agree that my post was borderline troll-type behavior but that wasn't the intent. And I tried your advanced search but those posts aren't me. Loads of people use to avoid spam. Finally, I went through the trouble to post to find out if anyone here knew about this company. If I'd have went to bbb.ord first I probably wouldn't have bothered to post here. |
