Ah...the back-issue magazine subscription scam. As far as I can tell, this is a fairly recent rip-off.
Not too long ago I subscribed to a magazine and got the current issue and 6 back issues all at the same time. The following month I got a card saying my subscription was almost ending and if I wanted to re-subscribe.
Magazines hook up with these distribution companies and this is how they operate.
Lesson learned: Don't ever buy a magazine subscription from a third party - call the magazine directly.
