Short Take: NY AG sues Net subscription scammer

New York State Attorney General Dennis C. Vacco sued a Staten Island man for allegedly soliciting bogus magazine subscriptions. Kevin Jay Lipsitz is charged with sending spam advertising Collegetown Magazine Subscription Services, Krazy Kevin's Magazine Club, Magazine Club Inquiry Center, Tempting Tear-outs, and SI Mag Sub Service. The spam included falsified testimonials praising the subscription service. Consumers who sent money to Lipsitz received their magazine subscriptions only after a long delay, if at all.
