Do not be tricked by Forbes' "free issue" offer on their website. It is a deceptive scam. When clicking the offer, two options are presented : 1) Subscribe now and receive a special rate, the or 2) Just send me a free issue. I chose option 2. I never got the free issue and am now receiving bills for something I never ordered. I am supposedly past due on the payment, but never agreed to a purchase of any kind. Total scam. Beware.

The basic objective of all "free Issues' is the same. Get the credit card information find out how much credit you can bill monthly on victim’s credit card [and] take all of it. The unconnected masses definitely have no idea how much money is made from this scam by Forbes Magazine and Elevation Partners.

One of the things I did was to follow the money. This took a lot of the time, a lot of these fraudsters have front people, so you’ve completely failed in a fraud investigation if all you do is get the front men of Forbes magazine, those are the real scamsters (ELEVATION PARTNERS) wants you to believe FORBES.
