I joined NAFC as a lifetime member in 1998. I received a magazine every month. A few years ago I started receiving a 3 or 4 magazines a year and now I have not received a magazine in about a year. I tried calling the phone number on the life member card and it is no longer in service. My log in info no longer works. Does anyone know if the Club has shut down. If it has, I think everyone should go together and file a lawsuit against the owners.
Well, the whole thing is sad and especially sad for those of you who were treated badly. It was a good club, and I was treated well. I got everything I was promised, and I'd be very angry if I hadn't, just like you. So, what happened? Well, here it is. Scout Media, formerly The North American Outdoor Group and the North American Membership Group (NAMG), was an American media company, specializing in membership clubs and related magazines. Since 2007 it has been owned by the Pilot Group, a private equity firm run by Robert W. Pittman.[1] In 2013, NAMG acquired Scout.com.[2] NAMG combined with Scout.com to form Scout Media. Pilot Group lost control of Scout Media to a group of Russian investors.[3] Scout Media filed for bankruptcy in 2016; it was acquired by CBS Sports Digital in 2017. A bunch of investors who knew nothing of fishing, hunting and how to run a club just in it for a buck ruined the whole thing.
I been a member for a long time and try to call the office and got know reply so now I have come to the conclusion that this company is a scam and a fraud they need to be sued.
Does anyone know if anything has been resoved because I also pd for a lifetime membership and no longer receive the magazine.
I, too had a lifetime membership which I paid cash for and never received a word about what happened to the organization. What transpired has all the earmarks of a deliberate scam. Has any legal action been initiated yet? If not, I will support any efforts to determine why the organization was purchased and passed around to obliterate the true ownership and where all the assets went.

Put me in for a lawsuit too ! They scammed us all !
Geez, so it sounds like we all got the same smokin deal. I joined in2010, got the first 4 years of magazines. (sporadically, once a quarter) and then everything JUST STOPPED. please contact me about upcoming lawsuits. flashfire53@hotmail.com
I would like to add my name to the suit. I paid for a lifetime membership mainly for the purpose of receiving the magazine at my home. Then without notice, the magazine quit coming.
Count me in on any lawsuit pending! I've been a member of the hunting club portion since 1989 in the fishing club it's a fishing club portion since 1990. Of which I still have the membership cards! For years I received several magazines per year and bought cassette's, videotapes, knives, and now everything does not exist, I like everyone else have hundreds of dollars invested, possibly close to $1000 or even more. Scout came about I got all setup on that program, admit lost track for a few years and I, like alot of others Piss Off.
I'M IN ! FOR A LAWSUIT.
I have been a member of the North American hunting club center it's an hunting club since 1989 and a member of the North American fishing club since 1990.. Both I have lifetime memberships and I do have membership card ship cards still. I used to receive magazines 4 or 5 times a year for both, received knifes, paid for books, videos, cassette tapes and those up and quit coming one day, , I'm assuming the magazines were due to the internet. Then Scout came about, I got all setup in that, and had that for awhile, I admittedly will say I lost touch a decade or some due to various life issues, but recently found that its all but devolved, I like alot of others invested hundreds of dollars, possibly close to $1000 and now don't get a dam thing from either. I am like all others a law suit should be persuade and full reimbursement to all life members that are getting screwed. SIGN ME UP !
I forgot all about my life membership. I haven't received anything in years. I'm in on a lawsuit
I'm a lifetime member since Feb 2007. Just found out today the NAFC as I and others new it is no longer available. What the hell happened and why weren't we notified ? I'm pretty damn sure I'm still alive 'cause I am typing this message! I've spent the better part of the afternoon trying to bring up the NAFC web site has I know it to obviously no success RRC What a frustrating afternoon I've had
This started in 2016, are there any updates or are the previous owners sipping Margaritas on a beach somewhere and yes I am a life member.
Add me to the list. Also a life member since 1997. I really did like the magazine. Still wear my Life Member belt buckle.
I too have been a life member since 1996? Out the money no mags or information. If there is a class action suit, I'm in
I have been a life member since 2004. It was great when they started but I have not received and information or magazines for a long time. I don't kn ow what to do I guess I am out my money and everything else they promised when I became a life member. If there is a class action suit you can add my name to the list.
Rich M. and email address is rvlm1968@zoominternet.net
I also feel ripped-off. Became a life member, received one or two free, flimsy accessories and then nothing. I am not happy with how they treated all of us, and would like to be part of any class action. Jstevens057@hotmail.com
Another dissatisfied life member here since 2004 . Have not received a thing from this " club " for years. WILLIAM MCCORMACK imajmac@cox.net
I also have been ripped off. Became a life time member and paid over 250$ and received a cheap rod and reel. Havent received a magazine in two yrs. [censor] fraudsters.
A close friend of my families dad came to me about this asking my help telling me he paid in to this club to be a life member and only received some fishing hooks and that was it never even got any magazines. And has heen a member since may 2011 and asked me to sit down and write a letter to these people to find out why he hasn't received anything he was supose to get with his membership well now i know why. So if anyone does start a class action suit please include him as well by contacting me at fdingman06@gmail.com thank you.
Same thing here. Life member since 96 and have received nothing in what seems like a few years now. Just had other things going on and just now kind of thought about it then found this. I want in on any suit if brought on. Member #[protected] contact volsnumberone@gmail.com
Life member since 11/98. Was just thinking about not seeing a magazine since I can't remember and got online and came across this. If anything is going to become of this default by the NAFC, please include me. Member #106288, e-mail is greenwood4@sbcglobal.net
I am also a life member since 2011. I too have not got the magazines, only for one year and then stopped. I would like to get in on the law suit if there is going to be one. I would like to get my money back like every one else is doing. please keep me informed about this club scam that we got trapped into and resolve this problem. thank you. my email address is, stevenharvey5@yahoo.com. thank you again, hope to hear from you soon.
If anyone with some legal background who is a life time member would want to take the time to file a class action suit against the North American Fishing Club, I would like to add my name to the suit. I paid for a life time membership mainly for the purpose of receiving the magazine at my home. Then without notice, the magazine quit coming. I was able to talk with a representative some months ago and was told that I can view the magazine online. When I am sitting in a cabin in Northern Ontario, there is no online, and that is when I used to read my NAFC magazines. When I explained that I want to hold the magazines I read and that NAFC totally ignored me and many senior citizens, some who don't even have computers. How are the non-technical seniors supposed to see their magazines that they paid their life time membership fees for? I do not understand why there isn't already a class action suit against this fraudulent company. They don't care about there lifetime members. They only took our money and then cut us off! Somebody please go after them. I would definitely add my name to the suit. Jim P., Lifetime Member # [protected]

Well, it's sad what happened. It's a tangled mess for sure. Here is what happened: Scout Media, formerly The North American Outdoor Group and the North American Membership Group (NAMG), was an American media company, specializing in membership clubs and related magazines. Since 2007 it has been owned by the Pilot Group, a private equity firm run by Robert W. Pittman.[1] In 2013, NAMG acquired Scout.com.[2] NAMG combined with Scout.com to form Scout Media. Pilot Group lost control of Scout Media to a group of Russian investors.[3] Scout Media filed for bankruptcy in 2016; it was acquired by CBS Sports Digital in 2017.[4
Another life member here since August 1983. I had a car accident 10 year ago and forgot all about the club until I found my life member card. Their Scout site has no record of me hving a membership so I agree about a lawsuit. Anyone out there smart enough to get this going? My contact is duhrinek@yahoo.com.
I joined this club many years ago, lifetime member, but my wife became extremely ill and I wasn't concerned about fishing or much of anything else. After she passed and I began to get my head straight, I too noticed that there were no more magazines. Funny how you pay for a lifetime membership, but then there's no more contact form those who took the money for this so called lifetime membership. If anyone has any idea of how to get in touch with these folks, please let me know. If there's no information on how to go about contacting them, I say everyone who paid for a lifetime membership and was suddenly abandoned by this club should absolutely go after them for reimbursement and interest along with punitive damages to punish bad behavior. If anyone decides to go after them, you can reach me at rsanj13@yahoo.com. God bless.
