North American Fishing Club
reviews and complaints

I have been a member since 3/02 I would like my money refunded if possible. member number [protected] my name is BERNARD GERSPER 1519 minnesota ave. cols. oh 43211 I liked getting the magazines I really did not pay attention about the issues not coming now I know why. they should take better care of their life members. I will be more choosey in the future?

I've been a member since almost the beginning of the Club and signed up for the life time membership not long after I became a NAFC membe
I was just wondering why I don't receive anything to test and I don't get magazines anymore.
It's been somewhere 10 or 11 years since I've received anything did you kick me out of the club?
I do a lot of fishing and would love to test products and review them.

There is no more NAFC or any other membership club. NAFC went out of business/bankrupt. 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

I was a Charter Member, Life Member and Trophy Life Member of the North American Fishing Club. I can't remember the last time I heard from them; it has to have been at least seven years. I haven't received any magazines since I complained about them being bundled with North American Hunting and some soldier of fortune/mercenary wannabe groups. I haven't received any products to test or any of the other premiums that supposedly came with my high level of membership. They apparently have discontinued te NAFC Catch and Release program after continually downgrading it over several years. Do you have any answers to this mystery? It's almost as if they were abducted by aliens or went into witness protection.

My name is Jeffrey Martin became a life member years ago and just quite getting anything from you I'm a trucker and drive over the road gone one to two weeks at a time just kind of forgot about my membership I live in English Indiana and would like to know what happened, my email is [protected]@gmail.com would like to hear back from you on this. I liked your magazine just not sure what happened

My son was A US Marine pilot. He was killed on in April 10 2010. He left behind a daughter he never saw. Just recently I finally had the courage to look through his things. There I found a limiter edition Pinacle Extant metal reel and Daiwa Procaster rod both new and a paid lifetime membership to NAFC in my name. He died and never had the chance to give them to me personally. I mourn every day that he was cheated out of life. Now I come to he has been cheated after his death and service. I will be glad to join the suit.

No membership number given, only a Certificate of Life Membership effective 5/17/2010. Have not received any communication within the past 8 years from the North American Fishing Club. I have never received any products to test since joining North American Fishing Club. I would have enjoyed testing products for the North American Fishing Club if given the opportunity.
I feel this was a scam and am disappointed.
I am requesting a refund of my dues.
My new address is 750 Waxwing Dr., Mandeville, LA 70448.

I purchased a Life membership from the North American Fishing club
30 years ago.. I received my leather jacket. However, for the last 18 years I have not received my monthly magazine! I have tried to communicate ... to no avail! I also purchased the Life membership to the North American Hunting club.. I have not received their magazine either! No one seems to care.. I would like to be made whole!
Thank You

I've been a life member for several years I believe it started in 1994 I received a couple of fishing items a patch but nothing else that I was supposed to get like the magazine. I received a Daiwa rod and reel the top piece of the rod broke and I cannot find to place to get another one. I've tried to contact North American Fishing Club but cannot get through

My name is James e Deffenbaugh 313 north st. Sparland Illinois 61565. I bought a life membership from nafc years ago and received my magazines regularly. Then one day they just stopped coming. I was so caught up in everyday life that I didn't notice until recently. Is that legal?

Defaulting of all benefits without refund. Classless organization that eroded all benefits promised then disappeared leaving the paying customers high and dry. Every single paying customer should receive a full refund. I would like my money back along with an apology from the scammers (SCOUT.COM) who bought this company out and flushed us all down the toilet like dead goldfish.

I just recently checked my checking acct trans and noticed a $36.00 withdrawal for a US24/7 Sport San Francisco purchase. I called the company to inquiry about it and was informed, it was a subscription payment for North American Fishmen. I informed the agent, I purchased a lifetime membership, years ago. Why were they billing me. He just said, "He knows nothing about that program.and If I wanted to cancel my subscription?" If there is an ongoing litigation going against NAF, please include me in.
