U had 2 young woman come to my home on June 25 saying they were selling magazines to help raise money for a school trip and that almost half of the magazine purchase price would be donated to one of 4 charity's. They said they needed to work fast as it was a contest, boys against the girls to see who could sell more and raise more money for the charity's These girls were very demanding and asked to come in saying they could write better if sitting. It was 96 degrees outside so i did let them in. They became very loud and would not take no for an answer. SO to my husbands dismay I ordered 2 magazine subscriptions. They also placed a sticker on my front door saying it would let the boys know that they had beat them to it. Shortly after i was looking out my window and saw the girls leaving a neighbors home, one of the girls lit up a ciggarette which raised some doubt in my mind. So i looked up the web address provided and thats when i realized it was a scam. I emailed contact 6 and they replied that they had aired a special on this same group back i March. Luckily it was after banknig hours so i called my banks 24 hr customer care line and had my acct. Frozen untill the next day when i could get to the bank and close my acct. It makes me sick to know they are still out ther taking advantage of people who think they are helping our schools and charitiy's.
