Two girls in their mid-20s knocked on our apt. Door tonight saying they were selling magazines to earn points toward a trip to Cancun, etc.
Extremely friendly and outgoing, we listened to their sales spiel and ended up writing two checks for a total of $84 for subscriptions to two magazines. Later, we found that our young next door neighbors had paid them $120!
A half hour after they left, I still felt uneasy and went online to check out the company listed on the receipts they'd written. I found them listed in the consumer complaints! We immediately called our local police, who said a crime wasn't committed till they cashed the checks.
It was an expensive lesson, but from now on, I don't care who they are, what they're selling or how they look and act, they're not getting a penny till I check them out thru your site!
