Mr. Robinson, While I am not unsympathetic to your inventory problems I must contend that they are, in fact, your problem. I do not recall any proviso of "while inventory is available;" moreover, I'm more then a little confused how a product can be out of inventory for the free promotion but there can be inventory of the very same product available at a $15.00 price point. It seems to me that Maxim is engaging in the every unethical (and in many jurisdictions illegal) practice of "bait and switch" marketing, which is deplorable to say the very least. Please consider this email to be your opportunity to rectify this situation. Best regards, Moral Hazard -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 11:26 PM To: Hazard, Moral Subject: Re: Identified Customer Other Inquiry Reference: 452499146 [] Dear Mr. Hazard, Due to overwhelming demand that exceeded our inventory, we do not have the inventory to fulfill all the orders we received. We are offering a special $15.00 price for those customers that we could not accommodate. Please visit us at: <https://secure.palmcoastd.com/pcd/d...?ikey=0815BISCY> to sign up.

See if that gets me anywhere.

Dear Mr. Fu Man Choonz, We apologize that the free subscriptions offered for the Maxim magazine was for a limited time, and quantity. We apologize, we have surpassed this number.

Seems like these guys are paid to say "apologize" 3 times in their response. I wonder if they even have any power to grant a 1 year free subscription at their discretion.

I'm not gonna bother replying.. just annoyed that I gave them my personal info for nothing

after a quick Google of Mr. Robinson's name along with Maxim, it seems like this isn't the first time this problem has happened with them.

Last year a similar promo ran only with "overwhelming" demand and a cancellation of requests, but instead with a $5 subscription offer:

what a load of crap.. total "bait and switch" marketing, and a means to harvest personal data of non-subscribers

So none of you got the magazine? Should I be considered lucky? The magazine I got in the mail wasn't the greatest piece of maxim to begin with.

I smell a class action lawsuit
