Wasn't sure where to put this but wanted it to reach quite a few people...

 

I bought subscriptions to this mag several times in the past when on sale in. In Canada compared to prices in the USA it was quite a bit more expensive so the sales were great.

However it has been sold it appears to someone in Europe who is determined that I take a subscription, has been sending me bills. Today I received a 2nd notice and that included the following wording " in spite of our first reminder we are still missing the receipt of your delivery fees. Please transmit by return (within the next five days) the outstanding fees". Also, further down "Payment has to be done in net cash" whatever that is.

First off I didn't order it this time and there is nowhere to call to protest. i did find an email address and emailed them today.

 

 

 

Don't know if anyone else has received something like this......

If you scrolled down just a bit, you would have seen a whole thread on this. Read it, and it should address your concerns.

Well, I guess I'll add "my 2 cents" as well.

Forget it, here is the post I made on another forum about that deal:

 

Just wanted to prevent other flight simmer enthusiasts from loosing/wasting their money.

The magazine, Computer Pilot, was produced by a US & Australian company called PC Aviator. Well, this part of the operation (the magazine) was sold late last year. I, for one, had over 2 years' subscription remaining and was assured by the new owner (Marc Goergen) that ALL subscriptions would be honored. Well, let me warn you, that is a bunch of crap! They did publish a single issue, back in April/May timeframe. However, I don't believe, with any certainty, that anyone actually ever received a printed copy. It was available to (some) subscribers via a PDF download. I made many queries regarding my subscription, got tons of "promises" but NEVER received ANYTHING. I saved all my emails but doubt it will ever do any good 'cause they are in Germany and I'm in America - what options would I have? They had one excellent guy working there (the Editor, Francois Dumas) & a good US support person, Pamela. However BOTH have left the company as they had NEVER been paid (over 6 months of back pay due them). My dismay is that there is still an active website - www.computerpilot.com - that is trying to get people to "subscribe" (to a non-existent magazine)! They have even pulled down the "forum" as it was filled with stories like mine! Caution to all - be aware & purchase at your own risk! I truly feel sorry for people that have purchased subscriptions since that new outfit acquired the magazine. I was told by an "insider" that "the new owner was not aware of the number of paid subscribers"! Well, that would be dumb, because they even print the "number of paid subscriptions" in every issue of the magazine! So, buyer beware!

But you can still buy them at e.g. Simmarket and will receive a pdf. No? So if they have the pdf edition running, there should at least be an electronic delivery for the subscribers.

 

I never had contact with them, so I'm just guessing. Edited. I just saw that the last issue is from June though. :(
