Two young girls, Ashley & Katie Gregory, (Ashley a young supposed Phillipino African American and Katie a bright blond white girl w / an upper lip silver stud piercing) solicited my apt supposedly working on a communications project for school. They were "practicing" by selling magaizine subscriptions for points to win a trip to an exotic location in Cancun, Bermuda & other places.
I asked if they had the mgmt permission to solicit on the property as it is supposed to be prohibited. They indicated thier sponsor had done so.
Thinking they were legit, I heard them out and then got suckered into ordering two magazine subscriptions for $28 & $30 each, plus $12 S&P for a total of $82. I found it odd that they could only accept cash or check. Not having a checking account locally, I drove to ATM, they followed in large silver Ford cargo van, driven by what appeard to be a small-medium build hispanic male.
I acquired the cash, they provided these cheap receipts and bolted saying they had others waiting to be picked up.
Fool that I was, it was not until later after searching Internet that I learned of SunShine Subscription Agency being a scam.
I intend on trying to recover my money, but I seriously doubt I can. It was cash and was probably used to buy alcohol and dope.
I can only hope others find this before they too get taken.
I notified the apt mgmt. And local police in hopes they be shut down.
Live & learn, you just can't trust common people anymore.
