Playboy Enterprises review: subscriptions to minors 70

My family keeps being sent letters but we have not opened them as the person to whom they are addressed does not exist at our household. We have repeated written return to sender, no such person, cease and desist, on the exterior of these mailings, returned them to the mailbox and the postal carrier has taken them away. Yet we still continue to receive mailings and keep doing the same thing. So, we had emailed (made thisw email acct to do so rather than utilizing our regular email accts) to their customer service (plycustserv@cdsfulfillment.com); we did not include our name but the fact that of the above written including the 'name' they were sending to and address and stated that we do NOT want even to be emailed back to, thus to cease and desist in all formats. I am sending a copy of that email to the State Attorney General and also to our attorney (in case such need should arise). After all it is an invasion to our privacy on many levels. And i do not wish to call the numbers they list as it is not our desire to begin receiving any sort of telephone spams/marketers.

Isn't it funny that it's only men on here that think it's ok!

They have heads but the only thing covered is their nipples. You can see the rest of the breasts... that is where the 3/4 naked comes in.

I also recieved the same card for my 14 year old son. What really has me fuming is that he got one last year too, I returned that one to playboy with a letter telling them that he is a minor. But they obviously didn't care and sent another one! I agree that it is most likely that they got his name from buying subscription lists, he has subscribed to some hunting magazines.

Yes, I know that eventually he will get his hands on a girly magazine and he'll be a normal teenage boy... BUT it won't be coming through my mail, into my house AND it won't be because ### bought his name and solicited him right under my nose! I don't care how mild the magazine is, what kind of sick pervert would sit back and let their young teenager look at and say that it's normal?

I got a subscription sent to my address and I called the [protected] number and they took care of it for me. Good thing I found this webpage with the useful information.

I ordered two (2) gift subscriptions to Playboy (renewals) and received only ONE (1) gift enclosure card.
I must have two (2). Please send another. Thank you.

I never ordered Playboy, yet was told (2nd notice) that I owe $15.96.

If you call [protected]) wait less then 3 min on hold tell the person on the other end that you never subscribed and will never subscribe then they will cancel the order and all is fixed.

I have also received multiple invoices from Charles Martin regarding a non-existent subscription. I contacted my state attorney general and the Federal Trade Commission through their consumer protection websites. This is definitely a scam.

I also recieved a notice from a collection agency for a dept to Playboy for $15.97. I never ordered Playboy, I don't want Playboy. Is there some-thing you could do to clear this-up?
I don't have anything against your mag. I just don't want to pay for some-thing I never ordered. Thank you, D. Little

The same thing happened to my 11 year old step son who lives with us. He does not have Internet access except at the public library occasionally. However, I suspect that when he visits his grandmother for overnight visits there is no Internet supervision, in spite of our continual pleas. I called the number given on one of the above posts/responses and the CSR was very helpful. His name was removed from all mailing lists and she put in a request to research how /where his name was purchased. This is just another reason to validate the importance of the parent's need for total supervision over the children on the internet. Even download-able children's games link you with sweepstakes entries, coupons, trivia questions, question & answer sessions that all lead to mailing lists of some sort.

I am one of those who, without ordering, received several issues of Playboy, then received a bill, which I ignored. Finally, Playboy sent a letter saying the matter had been turned over to a Charles Martin for collection. I Googled, found the above comments, and called the 800 number that I found on one of them. The person who answered said my name would be removed from the list and if I received any more such notices, I should ignore them. But this tactic of Playboy is surely illegal, and I plan to file a complaint with the United States Postal Service, as should others who have been victimized by Playboy in this way.

Same thing here. 16 year old son received a sub card from Playboy. He is not accessing porn sites on the internet and is actually pretty non-porn for a male teen. The only "new" subscription he has is a POPULAR MECHANICS subscription he got for free using his COKE Points. I am thinking that Pop Mech shared or sold his address to Playboy.
Absolutely unacceptable for the 2 magazine companies...but my husband and I had fun teasing him about it.
It is ridiculous that we have to take time from our day to ask them to stop sending us this crap. Can they get in trouble for sending porn to a minor?

[protected] is for subscriber services (option 5 for magazine subscription customer service.) They sent me a letter saying that I had almost a month to cancel but already charged my credit card for renewal! Now I have to wait a month for my credit card to be credited back. Thank god that card wasn't maxed out! The new Playboy management is horrible and the tricks they are pulling are way out of line. I can't forget to mention that the new Playboy website does not have any phone numbers listed on it. I had to get the customer service number off of my credit card bill! Also, the one link they do have that says "unsubscribe" actually brings you to another one of their websites to buy something else. I'm pretty sure that is illegal. Please pass on the word to not subscribe to this magazine. Plus, the magazine isn't even good anymore now that Hef is no longer part of it!

i recieved a playboy in mail that i did not order i dont want no more playboy deliveries

Hello I have also been mailed about something that i never ordered. The letter's first came when (i was 17 year's old not old enough to even have that) my dad [censor]ed at me saying that you don't pay for women. well the first one said that i owned 16.75 and then i ignored it and got a bunch of them then i got one from "sunrise Credit Services Inc." saying to pay them or they will mess up my credit funny because i don't even have credit yet or an account then a month later (today) i got another one saying that i ow them $27.00 So i called and supposedly it was cancelled will see what Charles has in store for us in the near future.

Who do I turn this information over to? The authorities? Something has to be done about this. It's embarrassing getting playboy mail at my home. I know my mailman!

I have written Playboy, and tried to call Playboy, but nothing seem to help. I keep receiving past due bills. I have been a subscriber to Playboy since 1980 and never had a problem until about 2 years ago. Some how Playboy started a second subscription to me. I notified the company and one magazine stopped being sent. This year I renewed my subscription, even received the bonus, "Nude Housewives Uncensored and Girlfriends Exposed", and now I am sent more 'invoices". I even wrote on one of the 'invoices', that I had previously paid. I still receive 'invoices', from Playboy, threatening to stop the subscription. Well, "Please let this correspondence 'Act as my request', " to discontinue my subscription to Playboy Magazine. You not only have lost a customer, but you have gained a critic to your handing of your subscription services. Sincerely, Malcolm O'Connell

I just received a solicitation concerning the Playboy Magazine. "You've been selected to enjoy PLAYBOY for just $1 an issue, ou absolute lowest price! And gat a FREE DVD!" A woman on the front without any underwear on and private areas barely hidden. Breasts hanging down in several pictures.

This was totally unsolicited, I do not go to sites like that on my computer, I am supposing that my name was sold. I work for a county's children services. I do not like this FILTH in my life. That aside, I have an 11 year old granddaughter, and a 14 year old grandson that live with me. This is the 2nd time I have received this type of solicitation from Playboy. My grandson has those "raging hormones" kicking in. Clothes catalogs (bras), get the picture? I intercepted the first solicitation, however, my granddaughter got to the mail before I did and of course she couldn't wait to tell her brother. Luckily I intercepted it before he got his eyes on it. I WANT THIS MAIL STOPPED FROM COMING TO MY HOUSE IMMEDIATELY.

What can I do to make sure that this happens. It looks like it is happening to a lot of people that are not pleased about it.

That's a good price.

I just got a bill also and no phone number to contact or address. Now I got the mag in the mail. it is an address from PEI (ISSN [protected]) PO Bx 37489 Boone, IA 50036. Never ordered and don't want the mag. Like to fin the little magot that sent this...Will call Playboy and get it removed.

Hope with the address can track who scammed this.

I have been a subscriber for about 40 yrs., and one of my favorite pagers were Grapevine. What HAPPENED?

Well I got two of them today. Different names but close to my husbands name. they were made up names. (like Rod Januay or Arch Swindle). My guess is that one of his buddy's thought they would be funny and send them. Can you send subscriptions cards to people?

I also was sent 2 copies from PEI (ISSN [protected]) P.O. Box 3479 BOONE IA 50037 please do not send anymore

You nether holes offered me a FIFTEEN Damn DOLLARS ($15.00) subscription rate, and THEN sent an invoice for $19.95 (nineteen ninety five) BUCKS...? PLEASE ! Goober heads might buy it, but not me ! LOL

This is not a complaint. My husband subscribed to your magazine years ago, which I didn't mind. His subscription ran out and he never renewed it.You guys kept sending the magazines anyway. My husband passed away last year and I am still getting the magazines you can stop sending them .Do not send any more.

I just received a playboy magazine, which I NEVER ordered, at my employers address. This caused a sticky situation since I am a member of the senior executive team where my character is a primary factor. Our internet team completed a query and was able to determine that I never ordered the magazines and they are being sent back via certified mail to avoid any payments or to stop any collection actions that could damage my perfect credit. These worthless people involved in these scams should spend time to get an education, and real career, and a sense of morals. Nothing is free in this world and it will catch up with you sooner or later! Hopefully with a bullet to the small brains that you have rattling around in those empty heads.

I DID NOT subscribed to Playboy.
