satisfaction
I paid for a lifetime subscription but never received my free gifts and monthly magazines? I would've loved getting the free gifts it promised. How I found out about this organization from a North American Fishing magazine. It said I could be life time member when I paid the dues and recieve free fishing gifts. I tried every way to contact them by phone, websites and other magazines. I just want what they promised.
Lifetime membership
Member number [protected]
I paid the price for a Lifetime Membership, and now what? In the beginning, I really liked it. Later on, I started getting things in the mail I didn't want or need. The bill for these items came with a hefty return price if I didn't want or need any of these.
I complained in 2011, and then everything just stopped. No more magazines, which I really like, no correspondence about the Club, nothing.
So, what happened to the Club? What happened to the Lifetime Members that paid for their Lifetime Memberships?
Zip, nada, not a word of anything else from this organization. Who does that to the hard working, American, fishermen and fisherwomen, without any explanation ?
Why hasn't the Department of Justice looked into this and dealt with it in an equal justice under the law way? I saw a YouTube video of Steve Park., the top guy, say that there's over 440, 000 members for life already. Sure, that was a while back. What happened with this group? What happened to me?
I guess I am screwed by this group, and the justice system, but I'm going to find out more. This should be a class action against the North American Fishing Club.
life membership
I want a refund for my life membership. I paid for a NAFC life membership and nothing remains of what I paid for. I want my money back from this scam organization. There was no notice that this company was going away or that the services we paid for would just vanish without notice. That is a lot of money to STEAL from people without any kind of repercussions and this is completely unacceptable.
club membership
I am not complaining about the club, but have a question as to how I can receive information about my life membership. I am a life member, but several years ago i became unwell and lost all that i had and am now just getting my bearing back. I mis the magazine and information that i once had. i have moved from my last address and would like to hear from the club.
Thank You

I have not heard from this company in a long time! You guys owe me! I paid for the North American Fishing Club / life membership. I am one pissed off fisherman here!
Got a few magazines and then you guys disappeared! So much for life membership You can take your fancy patch that I never put on anything and stick it were the sun don't shine!
They got your money and threw you out in the cold. Same thing with the hunting club.

lifetime membership
If anyone starts a class action lawsuit, count me in! I became a Life Member in March, 1997. Haven't heard a thing from them in over 4 years. I was occupied with other things and forgot about it til I recently came across a 4 year old magazine. Sure miss those great magazines that used to come almost every month. I'd love to know what the f**k happened!

I payed for lifetime membership and have not gotten any communication of any kind and would like to get my money back for my dues and end this. You made promises you didn't keep. I haven't had a magazine in over 2 years no letters or nothing. You are a ripoff and should be shut down before other people gets ripped off just like I have been you should be arrested and put out of business because you are nothing you claim to do or be

not receiving my life membership benefits
I paid for the life membership about five years ago I stopped receiving the benefits about a year later. I want all my money back for the life membership. I got the membership when I was 16 and saved every penny I got so I could get the membership and I maybe got a years worth out of the membership benefits. I want the money back that I paid. I am very disappointed.

Everything was fine until some fifteen years ago when the magazine subscription (included in the life membership) stopped arriving !! Been trying to contact them to no avail .. I think...

I became a life member many years ago, and all of a sudden they just quit sending magazines or anything for that matter. I sure wish I could get an explination, pay all the money and bam! Gone. That Steve guy sure seems like a big shiester! I would love it to start receiving a magazine again, or get my money refunded, maybe the customized rod and reel that they promised me for signing up as a life member that I never received! Shame on you NAFC! Or maybe it was shame on me for trusting fellow outdoorsmen/women involved in this scam.
I am a shame to admit that I spent $250 for the lifetime membership back in around 2010, even though many folk here in Kansas City, Missouri warned me against it. During that time I received a monogrammed rod and reel with a carry bag and a few magazines. I also received a few small items for field testing, and a few books. But when I canceled the book subscription, due to personal financial difficulties, it all ended with no explanation. I attempted to call them and forgot my membership number, so they sent me a new card back around 2012 or so. At that point my biggest complaint was not receiving any magazines and when I was, that there wasn't any focus on members who can only fish from the shore. Another words fishing adivce for those who cannot afford a boat or to travel. More recently there has been nothing. When exploring online for more info, there are plenty of places to log a complaint. It does feel as though we have been scammed or at the very least forgotten.
unethical behaviour...
My husband bought a Life Member several years ago. He got some gifts and no chance to test new products. The magazine kept coming, then all of a sudden everything stopped. I can't even get on the website. What is wrong.
Also, I am a Life Member to the Cooking Club of America. They are related clubs. All of my magazines and test products have stopped as well. Again, WHAT IS WRONG!
I bought the same for my son years ago, everything stopped n never heard from them stopped getting books etc, n never got what they were suppose to get
lifetime membership paid in full with no benefits received
My husband is a lifetime member with dues being paid in full for several years. They have not sent any magazines or anything for the last couple of years and before that he was lucky to get one magazine a year. This is a rip off and I want our money refunded as they have not held up their end of the agreement...wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Will be filing a complaint with the BBB!
Me too. Got to test a few things but nothing in over 3 yrs
im in the same boat i joined 8 years ago when it had differant company once i paid them in full .that was it i got a fishing pole no reel some cheap sh-- lures a fishing towel a few magazines .i called finly got through i asked for a refund .no way . they should give every body back there money they lied about every thing .
I bought my lifetime membership in July 1999 Paid $500.00 up front Never received anything from this company I would like my money back to give to the homeless it would be better spent. Ted Adams Membership Number [protected]
I am a lifetime member, and should have known something was up even from the start.
They sent me the free rod and reel gift set for becoming a lifetime member. That was great but the reel did Not work. So for the replacement they sent me a $20 Diawa piece of crap. As far as being a field tester for new products. I don't think a bag of hooks and a bobber count. Also I purchased a couple items through the club and paid for them but was getting billed still. Also when they would send the books for review I would send them back, and asked not to have them sent anymore, but kept sending them and billing me. Not happy. Many of us fisherman that thought this was a cool community thing to get involved with have been scammed big time! For the $200 lifetime membership and for the headaches and then just dropping off the face of the earth. These people should be ashamed.
I think all of us deserve a Full Refund.

Unethical behaviour
I am a 72 year old woman who joined as a lifetime member in 2013.
I have been sending them emails for over 2 years trying to get a fishing pole they owe me as a paid member. After several emails saying that the
Fishing pole is " out of stock" and they will send it as soon as it is available. This went on for almost 2 years. Your emails are all answered with an automatic reply saying that it has been send to a support board to review.
Much to my surprise when I sent an email on september 9, 2015, I received an email saying that I could receive a check for $75.00 instead of the
Fishing pole and it would arrive in about 6 weeks. I agreed to getting the check, well guess what almost 8 months later and still no check and no
More responses to my emails. I have not received anything from them
For over 2 years! No magazines, no samples, no type of correspondence.
They get your money and forget you! I hope its not because I am a woman,
At this point I feel like I deserve a full refund, not just a check for $75.00.
I have all of my membership papers saying what comes with a paid membership and they aren't even close to what they promise.
Fed up,

Life time member, Maybe there are having so problems spelling her name or the engraving machine that stamps the name on the pole has broken or maybe the reason is the loss of income, from people finding out about there little money making borderline league so called club.
I have be a LTM sense the late 90s and I did receive my reel and pole and like everyone I got some small sample of hooks and one time I was sent a pair of socks to review I did and that was the last I hard from them until the collectors items and stuff to sell me. I do not recommend anyone wast time and money on there club.

I responded to the request to become a trophy life member and paid the membership fee of $129.00 dated 04/01/2014. I attempted to sign in today 01/23/2016 and was referred to a new company that i was not aware of had now become the newest owner. This nafc should be fined substantially for a false presentation of facts to their membership. Jkl

I ordered 2 knives. I got them. I decided I did not want them. I sent them both back in the same box, with the labels that were provided for them. they are still trying to charge me 57.98 for one of them. I am not paying for something I don't even have! they were both in the same box. But somehow they are still trying to charge me for one of them. Sincerely, Bernard Hibbert
My husband signed up for a 3 year membership, paid in full. He was very excited about rec'ing the magazine. We got it for about a year, then, they stopped. I went on the web site, and was re-directed to "Scout". I have sent them COUNTLESS e-mails about getting a refund. It seems that they are no longer printing a hard copy of the magazine- you need to go on-line to read it. Well, my husband won't touch the computer! So I asked for a refund- they said because it was over a year, and I had agreed to their "terms of service' I had no recourse. Wanna Bet? They never notified ANYONE that they had changed to electronic publication, which was in violation of THEIR terms of service! They agreed to send me a refund- still waiting after about 4 months, and more e-mails. It's NOT about the money- it's the principle of it all! I am a believer that the pen is mightier than the sword, so, my friends, spread the word that SCOUT is a major rip off, AND I am going to report them to the BBB! (End of Rant!)
Ok, I became a life time member back in 05/2006, I paid in full and I received my membership package. Now it's 2015 and I haven't received and of my promise monthly magazine. I think the last one I received was last year. What's up with that? my members number is #[protected].
