Fell for door-to-door magazine sale, stopped check in 3 days

This is the first time I have ever fallen for a scam. I am so embarrassed. A college-aged guy came to my door, and he was so clean cut, talkative, enthusiastic and friendly. He told me about magazine subscriptions that I could buy to be sent to the troops, and of course the contest points. I backed off and told him I do not buy magazines door to door. Then the hard sell came out.

He played on every emotion I had. He said, "So much will be donated to a charity of my choice. It's his opportunity to travel the country and tour colleges." And I caved. My husband was at the window telling me not to do it, that it was a scam. Did I listen? NO. I was so convinced it was for real. When I came in the house, my husband told me to look up the company, and I found this site. I got taken. I feel like such a fool.

I am going to fight back. WI law says I can cancel within 3 days. The receipt I signed says "the written cancellation has to be POSTMARKED within 3 days without penalty." I sent them copies of everything, including a written letter, by certified mail today, one day after.

I stopped payment on my check today, within the 3-day span. Something tells me that it is going to be a long fight. They said to send in a "cancellation form," but I never got one. This is going to be a fight of "details."

I called my bank. They were so understanding and sympathetic and said they see this all the time. The bank employee also said that now that they have my account and routing number, they could steal my identity if they wanted to. I am going to the bank tomorrow to close this account and open a new one.

Hopefully I can update you. And hopefully I can turn in all your complaints, if I have the chance.
