I paid for a lifetime subscription but never received my free gifts and monthly magazines? I would've loved getting the free gifts it promised. How I found out about this organization from a North American Fishing magazine. It said I could be life time member when I paid the dues and recieve free fishing gifts. I tried every way to contact them by phone, websites and other magazines. I just want what they promised.

I paid the price for a Lifetime Membership, and now what? In the beginning, I really liked it. Later on, I started getting things in the mail I didn't want or need. The bill for these items came with a hefty return price if I didn't want or need any of these.
I complained in 2011, and then everything just stopped. No more magazines, which I really like, no correspondence about the Club, nothing.
So, what happened to the Club? What happened to the Lifetime Members that paid for their Lifetime Memberships?
Zip, nada, not a word of anything else from this organization. Who does that to the hard working, American, fishermen and fisherwomen, without any explanation ?
Why hasn't the Department of Justice looked into this and dealt with it in an equal justice under the law way? I saw a YouTube video of Steve Park., the top guy, say that there's over 440, 000 members for life already. Sure, that was a while back. What happened with this group? What happened to me?
I guess I am screwed by this group, and the justice system, but I'm going to find out more. This should be a class action against the North American Fishing Club.

I want a refund for my life membership. I paid for a NAFC life membership and nothing remains of what I paid for. I want my money back from this scam organization. There was no notice that this company was going away or that the services we paid for would just vanish without notice. That is a lot of money to STEAL from people without any kind of repercussions and this is completely unacceptable.

I am not complaining about the club, but have a question as to how I can receive information about my life membership. I am a life member, but several years ago i became unwell and lost all that i had and am now just getting my bearing back. I mis the magazine and information that i once had. i have moved from my last address and would like to hear from the club.
Thank You

I have not heard from this company in a long time! You guys owe me! I paid for the North American Fishing Club / life membership. I am one pissed off fisherman here!
Got a few magazines and then you guys disappeared! So much for life membership You can take your fancy patch that I never put on anything and stick it were the sun don't shine!

I got magazines and test products nothing big when I was an annual member so I decided to become a life member in 1996 got all the gifts they promised after I paid my for dues got the mnagazine and some small stuff for a couple of years then nothing I have tried writeing calling can get anyone or any response — If someone can take legal action against this organization if the still exist I wish they would

If anyone starts a class action lawsuit, count me in! I became a Life Member in March, 1997. Haven't heard a thing from them in over 4 years. I was occupied with other things and forgot about it til I recently came across a 4 year old magazine. Sure miss those great magazines that used to come almost every month. I'd love to know what the f**k happened!

I payed for lifetime membership and have not gotten any communication of any kind and would like to get my money back for my dues and end this. You made promises you didn't keep. I haven't had a magazine in over 2 years no letters or nothing. You are a ripoff and should be shut down before other people gets ripped off just like I have been you should be arrested and put out of business because you are nothing you claim to do or be
Very upset customer DAVID PENTON EMAIL [protected]@icloud.com

I paid for the life membership about five years ago I stopped receiving the benefits about a year later. I want all my money back for the life membership. I got the membership when I was 16 and saved every penny I got so I could get the membership and I maybe got a years worth out of the membership benefits. I want the money back that I paid. I am very disappointed.

I became a life member many years ago, and all of a sudden they just quit sending magazines or anything for that matter. I sure wish I could get an explination, pay all the money and bam! Gone. That Steve guy sure seems like a big shiester! I would love it to start receiving a magazine again, or get my money refunded, maybe the customized rod and reel that they promised me for signing up as a life member that I never received! Shame on you NAFC! Or maybe it was shame on me for trusting fellow outdoorsmen/women involved in this scam.

My husband bought a Life Member several years ago. He got some gifts and no chance to test new products. The magazine kept coming, then all of a sudden everything stopped. I can't even get on the website. What is wrong.
Also, I am a Life Member to the Cooking Club of America. They are related clubs. All of my magazines and test products have stopped as well. Again, WHAT IS WRONG!

My husband is a lifetime member with dues being paid in full for several years. They have not sent any magazines or anything for the last couple of years and before that he was lucky to get one magazine a year. This is a rip off and I want our money refunded as they have not held up their end of the agreement...wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Will be filing a complaint with the BBB!

They sent me the free rod and reel gift set for becoming a lifetime member. That was great but the reel did Not work. So for the replacement they sent me a $20 Diawa piece of crap. As far as being a field tester for new products. I don't think a bag of hooks and a bobber count. Also I purchased a couple items through the club and paid for them but was getting billed still. Also when they would send the books for review I would send them back, and asked not to have them sent anymore, but kept sending them and billing me. Not happy. Many of us fisherman that thought this was a cool community thing to get involved with have been scammed big time! For the $200 lifetime membership and for the headaches and then just dropping off the face of the earth. These people should be ashamed.
I think all of us deserve a Full Refund.

I am a 72 year old woman who joined as a lifetime member in 2013.

I have been sending them emails for over 2 years trying to get a fishing pole they owe me as a paid member. After several emails saying that the
Fishing pole is " out of stock" and they will send it as soon as it is available. This went on for almost 2 years. Your emails are all answered with an automatic reply saying that it has been send to a support board to review.

Much to my surprise when I sent an email on september 9, 2015, I received an email saying that I could receive a check for $75.00 instead of the
Fishing pole and it would arrive in about 6 weeks. I agreed to getting the check, well guess what almost 8 months later and still no check and no
More responses to my emails. I have not received anything from them
For over 2 years! No magazines, no samples, no type of correspondence.

They get your money and forget you! I hope its not because I am a woman,
At this point I feel like I deserve a full refund, not just a check for $75.00.

I have all of my membership papers saying what comes with a paid membership and they aren't even close to what they promise.

Fed up,
