I avoided this pitfall, but wanted to warn others.
A very friendly and socially skilled salesperson came to my door purporting to be part of a "career exploration" program with Jaguar Sales. They also wanted my "vote" so they could win $5,000 and a trip to Paris.
My "vote" was to be in the form of a check for a magazine subscription. They insisted that writing the check immediately, rather than sending it in, would be much better for them. They offered NO flyers, ID, or any info about their company or how a trip to Paris was related to their career.
I found this to be HIGHLY misleading. They were selling magazines, nothing special about it. They appeared as a disadvantaged African American from Georgia looking to move up the career ladder, but were really a rat fink from a sleazy corporation. They had nothing to provide accountability for their company.
Here's some advice - if you want to buy crap, buy it from your neighbor's kid. You'll see the benefit, and if the delivery gets screwed up, you can have their parents beat them.
