I was coming in from work yesterday when a young man and woman approached me. Immediatly they were very talkative and asked if they could come in and have a seat i replied no. They then asked if they could take a seat on the front porch becasue it was raining, so i let them. They proceded to tell me about a trip that they were taking and they only need 1,680 more points to get there and that with my help and the rest of the neighborhoods help they would possibly be able to win this trip. They said it was for communications skills and all i had to do was to buy 2 magazine subscribtions and handed me the list to look over. I had no cash and told the people this and they refused to take no for an answer. I thought ok well this is helping college people out for communications and it would be my good deed for the day, not to mention magazines are great to have at work.
So i wrote the checks out and gave it to them. When i got in my house i realized this is Christmas and i didn't need these magazines right now i could get them some other time. So i decided to call the number on the ticket to cancel my subscribtions. The phone rang for 10 minutes with no answer. This made me suspicious and so i thought to search and see if they had a website online. This is when i found that they are scam artist. I have heard that the kids who do this are being scamed to, and they may be but they know exactly what they are doing. They are being lied to, and being told to tell some fake story to people to get there money and i just dont think it is right.
