This afternoon a young female arrived at my house. She brought up, that last year we had made a contribution and did I remember. My husband dealt with the person who came last year so I did not know what had transpired. She told me that she was a single parent of three children and that this company offered single mothers an opportunity to go out into the community to solicit sales for magazines subscriptions and that half of the contribution would be given to her for going out door to door. She presented a list of packages, which had a list of magazines that were in that package to be donated to your choice of organizations. The organizations were written on a torn piece of paper with no addresses. She also had other information she presented but I was busy trying to watch a young child so I was distracted. She even had a list of names that people who had donated or helped her out. One of which was my neighbor and some had amounts next to their names. She asked me if I wouldn't help her out by purchasing two packages and the most expensive one would be the best as that would help her out the most. I chose the least expensive which was $190.00. No dates were written next to the names so who knows when and if any of these people donated.
My brother was here visiting and asked for a business card as he wanted to check it out. She told us that she was the business card. When asking about a website, she said that they had not had time to set one up. What, they came last year so why wouldn't they have a website setup. So we did some investigating and now I am filing this report. I will be going to the bank tomorrow to cancel the check. I will be going to the police department to see if they registered to solicit and see if they can assist in any way. Next, call the credit bureaus.
