We almost got scammed by this company last week in Mesa Arizona. The story is not much different than most of the reports that have already been filed, but I had not seen them being mentioned in Arizona yet. We had a girl and a boy come to our door purporting to be students at the local high school, raising funds for the school and hoping to win a trip to London. When we declined, they suggested we purchase "books" and have them donated to the Phoenix Hospital, supposedly where her mother works, which was "supposedly" what our neighbors had done (they never went to their door). The girl's name is Ashlie (as seen on their website) and she said she lived on the next street, mentioning it by name. She said her father was in Iraq, due to come home in August. They sold us two subscriptions for $54 each, but when they left and we saw these reports on the internet, we approached them down the street, having just sold to another neighbor, telling them that they were friends of ours. We were able to get our money back from them, and our neighbor did as well. The girl, Ashlie, said that it was a fundraiser that her mother was making her do and went to call her "mother" because she was very upset that her mother had gotten her into this.in fact, she was calling the magazine crew leader, because shortly thereafter we saw the typical white Ford Econoline driving down the street, having picked up their crew members like scattering cockroaches. We have contacted the local police, newspapers and television stations, doing everything we can to expose these people.
