Someone has "borrowed' my email address to sign up to this company, without my permission. I'm located in the UK, and so the services of Value Mags are not available to me. There is no way to unsubscribe my email address, and when I try to contact Value Mags, they do not reply, despite an automated email telling me I will hear from them "shortly". Moreover, this person appears to have signed up to a hunting magazine, which is very much against my principles. I do not wish to have my email address used by this company, or any further contact for them.
