Fictionwise Buywise Club refund?
So, did anyone else get an email today from PenChecks Participant Distribution Notification with the subject "RE: Fictionwise Buywise Club Membership"?
I can post the full content of the email once I get home - it's more than I'm will to try to do to type it a paragraph at a time from my phone screen, with the screen going black every 15 seconds. It's asking for info to be entered to a PenChecks.com screen (mailing address is what it *says* it's asking for in the email). I've never heard of these people.... |

Thanks for pointing me to that other link. I did an Advanced Search for any posts with the word Fictionwise in it before posting .... I don't know why I didn't get it in my list.
And thanks, Nate, for being our guinea pig. I guess I thought it would come from B&N if it was legit.... |

I'm glad someone posted this, my notification triggered a spam rating and went into a spam folder, and I probably would have missed it otherwise. I had something like 5 years left on my membership too.

I didn't get one. Hmmm. I wonder what that means.

On the other thread about this, a lot of people are saying the emails hit their SPAM folders (the email is from PenChecks). You might want to look there - and it has to be the email address that was attached to your Fictionwise account.
