Some of you have recently reported suspicious phone calls or offers in the mail to renew your subscription to Turkey & Turkey Hunting.

Your uneasiness may be justified. While still rare, fraudulent mailings and phone calls are increasing. We have confirmed that unauthorized parties are attempting to represent themselves as Turkey & Turkey Hunting, asking for a check or credit card number to renew your subscription. They take your money but cannot deliver the subscription.

These simple guidelines can help you avoid becoming a victim:

• Before renewing, check your mailing label. You’ll find your expiration date at the end of the line above your name. If your subscription is not close to expiring and you receive a phone call asking for your renewal, it is most likely fraudulent.
