Magazine renewal scam targets TU members

Trout Unlimited is alerting members across the country to a scam.

A company called Platinum Publishing sent renewal invoices for TROUT magazine for $79.95 to some of TU members.

“Please be advised that this is a scam and did not originate from TU’s offices,” according to an alert in the most recent Lines and Leaders.

Members are advised to not respond to these invoices, “but rest assured tu.org and our Woolly Bugger, WV, post office box are fully operational, secure and ready to process dues and gifts.”
