A young woman named Tammy (If memory serves me correctly) came into our neighborhood and while my mother and I were on the porch she approached us. Tam said she was in a contest to sell enough magazine subscriptions. Any other day we would have said no thanks but the day had great weather and we didn't have anything else going on so we took a ear to what she had to say.
Having been in sales myself and both of my parents managers were are always skeptical of people who sell, especially door-to-door. She was a blond lady, about 5'9, skinny, and with a nose piercing I do believe. We listened to what she had to say and looked at the magazines. There was some decent ones with technology, gaming, etc. We ended up writing her a couple checks for subscriptions.
My mother had bought a years worth of magazines for about $70 and I have my receipt still and I had bought $63 worth of technology magazine subscriptions.
I still have yet to see the magazines, but the girl, Tam, said it could take 2-6 months to receive because the work was with some boyscouts/girlscouts, some kind of volunteer thing so it sound more plausible being a non-profit company working alongside a company selling a product. I remember when we lived at our grandparents and I had to sell stuff out of a magazine to raise money.
I just want my money back and so does my mother obviously. We basically payed 10 hours of work time for nothing. 10 hours of work that we will not get back because someone has to be a fraudulent, piece of crap skum of the Earth. It's bad enough I work for minimum pay and no benefits that some person has to steal money from people. Oh well, I guess the bankers do that anyway so what's the difference.
