Palmetto Marketing scam has spread to New Hampshire. I had a young girl come to my door talking very fast about winning a trip to Cancuun, Mexico for Spring Break. I heard Spring Break and assumed she was a college student. She was friendly and very nice to my two young children. I wanted to help her win her trip, she exclaimed she was in second place.
Wow, I did not know how nieve I was! I let her into my home, talk with my children. I told my husband what I had purchased which was a "my first dictionary" for my children. He then searched them on the computer and all these rip off notes came up about this company. We immediatly cancelled the check!
She told me this, she was trying to earn points to win a trip to Mexico. She was from Indiana and her brother was a marine that lived in VA. She said that different things earned her points, such as the book I was going to buy, the check I gave her which was Pooh, because this book was a gift she could get points for that. She also told me that since this was a donation, the money was tax deductable! Well, I am not going to wait to find out!
What kind of message is this sending to the youth of America?
