Ripoff, scam, fradulent, Don't let them take your money!

A 24 year old guy, Matt Sharp, came by my apartment just after 7:00. I usually don't buy things from people but I thought he was a student at my university and I was under the assumption he lived in my apartment building. He seemed really honest (a good talker) and he really wanted to win a trip to Cancun, I thought it wouldn't hurt to purchase a magazine.

He practically invited himself into my apartment. At first I wanted US Weekly—which oddly he was "out of" I then, selected a magazine, Gourmet, for 2 years for $48.00, which I thought was a little steep. As we were talking I found out that he wasn't student. He also didn't live in my apartment building—which I found weird—as my apartment building is fairly secure.

I gave him a check (and not cash thank goodness) and then sent him on his way. Twenty minutes later two other guys came up to my apartment and asked me to buy a magazine—they told me that Matt was in a different program and that it was "weird he didn't have US Weekly"

So I then asked for a number to cancel my check—they told me I could just go to the website www.nfsa.com—actually they insisted on that—but I insisted on a phone number (I told them I would need to cancel that order before I would even consider buy something from them). I ended up obtaining this number 954-341-8135.

I told them I had to make a call and they could come back. I checked the number and it was correct and I told them I wouldn't be purchasing a magazine. I went on this website—I had some suspicious feelings considering they did not want to really give me the number and I found this site.

I immediately put a stop payment on my check less than 2 hours after writing it and I will be calling and emailing and sending the receipt in tomorrow as well. This probably sounds extreme—but I want to cover all my bases—I do not want them making money off of me! Do not let them take your money! Tell them "No, thank you."

Everything about the situation was odd—but I didn't realize that until after I'd written the check and just thought about what had happened—thank goodness I caught it in time and got a number from them.
