I was out of commission with a bad neck and back and staying a few days with my sister and her family so they could help me. What a nice get-well present!
Two seemingly sweet young ladies from Nigeria came by. They said they were exchange students studying journalism and were selling books to earn points so they could go to London and "follow the BBC around." They played with my sister's two month old and were very warm and unassuming. They off-handedly mentioned doing chores for people in appreciation for purchases.
We started talking about ethnic cuisine. I told them I wouldn't buy any books, but I would pay for a traditional Ethiopian meal. They accepted. They gave us a phone number and took both my and my sister's phone numbers. That was the last we heard of them. They did not respond to any phone calls. I have little hope of getting a stop payment on the checks or of ever seeing the merchandise.
Please learn from me! Can anything be done to stop them?
Thanks,
Judy Lane
