Magazine sales scam

[mermaidcafe.livejournal.com]

If some guys came to your place selling magazines within the past few days, even if you didn't buy any, call the non-emergency police # or 311 and give the police your info. They came to my place in Winter Hill on Monday (thankfully, I didn't buy anything or let them in) and I don't know where else they went, but the cops apparently kicked them out of the city today. The PD still wants a record of who they talked to, though. These guys had no license to be selling; also, when I looked up the name of the suscription company associated with them, there was no trace of that company.

(In other words, don't hold your breath on your year's worth of Cosmo--you'll just have to find his special LMNOP spot some other way.)

It's not called that anymore?

I don't see that name on their website anywhere, nor does Google. It also doesn't appear to be on the cover, based on images I found online. It might be on the masthead, but at best it's obscure.

Gentleman's Quarterly does appear on the cover, at least the ones my roommate gets. It's in small print right below the GQ logo, I think.
