On April 1, I was approached at my home by a young man named Todd who was trying to win points for a trip by selling magazines and renewals. I felt sorry for the young man, who was extremely hyper and anxious to get an order from me. I decided to renew my subscription to Guideposts and wrote a check for $44.00. (In looking at the copy of my check, I now notice that I wrote 4-1-03 rather than 4-1-08 on the check.) Unfortunately, I have misplaced the receipt given me for the renewal. However, the check was cashed promptly (even with the wrong date on it). The funds have not been applied toward my renewal to Guideposts. The check was deposited in account number 1702953153/333-tx. I realize now that I have been "scammed."
