Default Fix My Hog Junk Mail, scam attempt?

So I get home and I have a DVD in the mail and what appears to be a mail this back or get a bill letter! I have never purchased anything from these folks. It had the letter to mail back the DVD and looked like one of those book club things where you have to mail it back or get charged and I hate those things. It had a box to check to please pay or I am returning the DVD and I was pissed.

So I call the number and they say you don't have to mail it back but understand the letter looks that way. There is print that says you don't have to but at first glance you can see they are tricking you or trying to anyway.

I hate these mailing scams and will not be buying any of their products.

Okay, rant done.

You don't have to pay for anything that is sent to you that you hadn't asked for, plain and simple.

Caution with some call back numbers as some are scams and cause charges to the maker of the call.
Kinda like the old 976 or 900 number scams.
The product maker may not be involved.
If it is a scam it might be a fake copy.
Does the phone number indicated match the fix my hog website?

I just sent mine back. very little info on the first one, and I don't like being forced to buy something. I could be good for the novice. but let me order it, don't just send me something that I have to send back to keep from getting billed for

If they wanted it back, they could come get it. Not that they'd pay you for your time/gas/cost, to return it.
I wouldn't feel obligated to buy or return anything i didn't order. Not my problem. Period.

No scam, just a marketing ploy. I haven't watched it yet, but I've heard good things about the DVDs.

Did you pay for postage? Even though postage isn't much.......it's the principal that counts. I wouldn't have paid postage.
