Mystic is a reputable company and would not send any stamps unless they thought you requested them. I suspect some "friend" clipped their ad in a newspaper and sent your name (and your friend's name) to them just to make trouble. Please write or call them and explain that you did not make this request yourself. I am very familiar with this company, and they would not send anything to you without SOMEONE having requested it.

No, you do not have to pay for any unsolicited commercial mail you receive. If they bother you, report them to the Better Business Bureau. These people should know better so it sounds like a really crooked outfit. They are breaking the law by billing you in the first place. You didn't order them, you didn't ask for them. They are yours to keep or throw away, whatever you choose. If this practice were legal, we'd owe money to every con artist that ever sent us something in the mail.

Back in the old days when I studied Consumer education and Business law, you are not liable for any product you did not order, unless you keep it. Throwing it away is no defense against keeping a product. You should have sent it back.
In some jurisdictions, you may get away without paying, but some, maybe not.

no the Law say`s if you get something in the Mail that you did not send for it is your`s to keep. if you want to but only if you can prove you did not send for it. and they can not prove that you sent for it. so i would not worry about that stamp company. but i would write to them and tell them that they made a mistake. and tell them you will send back the stamp`s if they will send you the postage it will cost you to send them back. and i would find out what the postage is before i sent them back. and if they don`t want to do that keep the stamp`s.

Simply call the company and request proof of subscription. Advise them that you made no request and do not understand why they are sending you this. I am certain they will cancel out your account and have your friend do the same thing, too.
Have your friend call on her own. It has to be a separate call.
Good luck.

I don't think you should have to pay for them if it was truly unsolicited. Think back & make sure someone didn't call you on the phone & get you to agree to a free trial offer or something like that - those people are tricky. If someone did call you & get you to agree to something, they probably have it on tape (or at least say that they do.) If that's the case, make them produce the tape of you giving your permission. If they can't produce the tape - they don't have any proof that you agreed to anything.

Yes they can do that. If you threw the stamps away that is stupidity on your part you should of just threw them back in the mail and write REFUSED on it.

Anything sent to you by mail you didn't ask for is yours to keep, no charge!
This type of scam is old and well known. Just ignore them.

TAke nothing, send it all back.
In fact, don't open the envelope, put RETURN TO SENDER on it and back into the mail stream
