>Denis,

I received the same message, it came from their newsletter server so it got through my spam filters. Sparklist is an email list manager server.....

>Denis,

I received two of them! It's not a scam, promise. It's a legitimate offer from us and if you haven't ever had any experience with the Woodworker's Book Club, I hope you'll take a second to consider the opportunity. I'm not sure what list they were mailing to, but we send out these opportunities a couple of times a year. If the message offended, our apologies.

>The message is from Popular Woodworking so not to worry. F+W Publications is the publisher/parent company. Nonetheless, thanks for your diligence.

Got it this morning and deleted it.

>A couple of years ago I got a letter from Popular Woodworking saying I was past due in payment for a year's subscription. I never ordered it, nor did I receive it and I sent them a letter saying so. Their response was a threatening letter saying they were sending it to a collection agency. I sent them a certified letter, copied my attorney, demanding proof. I didn't hear from them again until the other day when they sent me a promotional offer. I'm prepared if they try that again.

Or is it a promotion? I hope so.
