    I got a call from one last weekend, offering a $1,000 online shopping spree with "no catch."

    She continued, and said that all I had to do was agree to three magazine subscriptions for 60 months including TIME, Maxim, and the Sporting News (I could change after the first issues) for the cost of ONLY ONE SUBSCRIPTION, at, are you ready? $14 a month.

    I told her that the two subscriptions I do have are not even $12 a year!

    Did the math, $14 x 60 months is $840, with no chance of terminating early.

    Suddenly that "free $1,000 shopping spree" was worth about $260.

    What an absurd f'ing scam, and I bet it works on people 100 times a day.
