This is in responce (sic) for all of you who told your story on Big Sky Periodicals. First off, I work there. You people GAVE your credit card numbers over the phone and listened to the legitamate (sic) talk. You GAVE your number out.

You knew there were magazines involved and they told you it was $3.35 a week didn't they! It is not a scam. It is telemarketing and you said "yes" with a smile and got you card out of your wallet on your own free will ... no one made you do anything.

I would be glad to send you a copy of the talk you were read over the phone if that will satisfy anyone. You maybe will then understand what you agreed to. I am very sorry if the prices of the magazines do not fit into your current budget. I understand the stress that goes along with it.

You were not forced to talk to them, answer their question, give your credit card number out, or any other sort of obligation. If you do have any questions on this area don't hesitate to ask. I will be honest and straight fwd (sic).

I am sorry that you all were sucked into the world of telemarketing.

Nice guy, huh? Very generous of Fefe to tell us he will be honest and "straight fwd." Guess that would be a refreshing change from his workday habits, eh?
