I got one too, never watched the video nor did I send it back. Got a letter weeks later reminding me, I tossed it in the trash.

I am subscribed to Baggers so maybe they are part of the same group.

Just reminds me of the America Online Disks we've all received in the mail back in the day. Not a new idea other than the "Send it back " thing.
Which has me thinking, since disk duplication is not all that super expensive, when you send the disk back, you are prob letting them know you really exist and are secretly Opt'ing to have your information shared (sold again) with all of their partners and you'll start receiving all kinds of crap in the future.

So yeah. That's would be kinda sneaky but not the worst thing that has happened to me. lol

If you feel really put out by this free disk, there are ways to get yourself off the mailing list. One is to tape their postage paid return envelope to a brick or other heavy object. PO doesn't care what is supposed to go in it, they just charge for what is there.

If you did not order it, you are under zero obligation to send it back. It is a marketing ploy used by businesses all the time. Every time you reply to the company it reaffirms to them that they have a "live sole" on the other end and will continue to bombard you with other offers.
It is kind of like clicking on the "take me off your mailing list" links you see in emails. Don't do it, because if you do, it just tells them there is somebody at that address, and they will sell you to another spam company.

If you financed a Harley thru their financial group they will "give" your information to their "affiliates" groups........basically they sell your data.

I recently 'liked' Baggers magazine on Facebook. I'm betting that was it. Not cool.

Lol, maybe a nice CD sized plate of 1/2 steel would do the trick!

I always send these things back. I also send a note to let them know how pathetic a POS I think they are, and how stupid they must be if they can't come up with anything better than this.

I think next time I'll toss in a teaspoon of baby powder.
