Coloradans and people across the United States will soon receive money as part of a $1 million settlement made between two magazine publishers to the Colorado and Wyoming's Attorneys General Offices, it was announced Thursday.Â
The settlement comes after both states filed lawsuits against Atlantic Publishers Group, LLC and Publishers Partnership Services, LLC after they sent millions of deceptive mailers to consumers across the country.Â
In one instance, a 94-year-old woman reported to the Colorado Attorney General Office that she sent more than $60 after receiving "what she thought was "a renewal notice for Time magazine." The next month she received an additional renewal notice and officials told her she had not paid, according to a news release.
