APG sent a mailing that looked like an invoice. Across the top of the "invoice" it said:
Thank you! Your prompt attention is appreciated
Notice of continuation/New Order Offer
It asked me to choose a payment option for one year of the magazine Fine Woodworking, which we have gotten for many years. I was surprised at the high amount and I thought there was just a mistake. They wanted $89.95 for one year and I had recently written Taunton Press a check for a similar amount (several dollars less) for three years. I did call Taunton and did not pay the bill, but this is VERY misleading. There is a statement on the bottom that says "This is an offer from an independent company, not a bill" but it is certainly not noticeable. I would call this a scam and can understand why people would send money!
Sorry I am not attaching a PDF of the invoice. I’ve been waiting for a photo, but it’s not arriving in a timely way! I’m sure it will arrive shortly, and will be happy to send it at your request.

Received a legitimate looking invoice for renewal of Southern Living magazine.
Didn’t look quite right so googled Atlantic Publishers Group.
ScamPulse.com warnings about this business.
Didn’t get scammed but would be easy to assume it was OK.
Keep up with when current subscription expires & who you pay to renew.
