On July 30th a young man came to our door selling magazines. My boyfriend happened to answer the door and talked with him. The young man said he was a college student at Texas Tech and was trying to earn money for college. My boyfriend bought some magazines from him and had them sent to St Judes hospital. We are not sure if anyone ever got the magazines. If I had to guess, I'd say not.
Around the end of October, someone making a reference to the magazines he bought called my boyfriend on the phone and wanted to know if he wanted "fraud protection." They said they would take the money out of his checking account, which they said was the account we have on file. My boyfriend was furious that they had even kept his number on file and told them to destroy it immediately.
On Nov. 15th, mysteriously, someone in Grants Pass, Oregon, went to a Wells Fargo branch there, filled out a withdrawal slip and took $400 out of our checking account. They even made a fake Alaska driver license. (We live in Alaska.) Is there anyone else out there who has had their checking account tampered with after buying magazines from these folks? It seems like they wait a good amount of time so maybe you forget.
