Of course the only way this could happen is if someone stole the subscription information in which case you need to take a look at your security (computer and personnel), or it was sold, as most publishers do, to someone that then used it for something unsavory, in which case maybe you should vet your buyers more carefully.

It looked fishy to me, and I seem to recall a similar thing a year or so ago.

My mailing label is a bit different than your example but between the weird mailing I got, and the real magazine label it was pretty easy to spot their bogus offer.

I intend to make a small file at my home desk, 3×5 cards, that have all pertinent data for every subscription we have at our house. That should make it easier to track.
