FCC Harassing You? Doubtful!
So,
you've been getting one letter after another from the "FCC", telling
you that you need to send them money to renew your license, or that you need to
buy an FCC booklet. Most likely it
is not the FCC harassing you, but a private company.
There are several companies that send out official looking letters to FCC
license holders, like yourself. All
of these companies want is your money, They'll sell you new licenses, renewals,
or even worthless books, which you could download FREE
form the
internet.
These
tactics can complicate matters. As a result, after receiving several of these
letters, one is tempted to "trash" what they may consider to be
"junk mail." This practice can be dangerous, because the FCC will send
mail you from time to time. The most common FCC mailing is when your license is
about 3 months from expiring. It is
important that you don't let your license expire, as it can cost you hundreds of
dollars to re-establish you legal operating status.

won't try to trick you with "official looking letterhead" or sell you
