You know when wierd things happen and you think nothing of it?…. Well that doesn’t happen to me anymore.. the “not thinking anything of it”… I go immediately to try to  figure out if the incident will harm me, my credit, my idenity, my business or my family…. the days of believing things “just happen”… or are “just  mistakes”.. not since 2003….. not much has “just happened” without some intentional planning or direct action….

So i received an order of Essence magazine that i did not order.  It was in my name with my correct  address.   I tried contacting anyone that may have gotten  me the subscription and could find anyonee who would say they got the magazine for me.   I am not african american and have never ordered such a magazine before.  

I tried contacting the magazine company to find out who ordered the magazine.  I was able to contact  Media 2 group ( 866-441-1281)  and was told it was ordered by a third party and unless i knew the last four digits of the credit card used i could not find out who ordered the magazine.  When I called and spoke to Media 2 group ( 866-441-1281).   I was also told that i could  not cancel the subscription.   Spoke with fairly rude person on 7/02/01 who would not cancel subscription.  They said I could cancell the “sending”  of the subscription but the entire order would still be in affect.  
I told the company that i was a bit worried about idenity theft since i nor anyone i now ordered the magazine, it is not a customany magazine i would ever read and i had heard of people making   change of address on magazines and credit cards and other mail  to establish  a new address if someone was  stealing  an idenity.  


I had a much better response when i emailed Essence magazine directly  to cancel the magazine.   I received a reply email on July 02nd 2010statng they receivced my email 3:09:46 pm on 7/2/2010 and was assigned the incident number 11513695.  The magazine was stopped.    I still dont know how or why teh magazine ended up in my mail.

Has anyone else ever had any odd experience like this concerning mail or magazines?  Or had any experience in idenity theft  startitng with mail problems?
