Palmetto Marketing Inc
Nearly Ripped-off by Scam Con Artists, But Saved By "The consumer complaints". Thank you

A young pretty Latino woman came to the door explaining that she was selling magazines so a group of high school graduates could go to Acapolco. Ya... Right. The magazine prices were about twice what you can find online but I ordered figuring it was for a good cause.
When filling out the paperwork she neglected to tell me about the "Processing Service" charge of $10 and I told her that it was a little misleading. She said that the total of those charges is what will send her and the others to their vacation. That made me a little suspicous.

Another thing that concerned me was that she asked questions that were both conversational but also a little prying such as "do you live alone?", "what do you do?", "how often do you travel" After writing the check and saying goodbye I had a funny feeling and ran a search for PMI or Palmetto Marketing Inc. Thankfully, consumer complaints was there. So I called my bank and cancelled the check at a charge of $18.

This bothers me. The scam artists now have my checking account, they know where I live, know my occupation and other personal details. We all hate throwing money away and getting cheated but there may be a larger security issue here. Not paranoid, just thinking out loud. Bastards.
