A young lady, approximately 19/20 years old, came to my door early evening presenting herself as a journalism major at PSU - York. She said she lived one street up from me which could have been true because I have only lived in the area for a month. She told me ESPN was sponsoring a program for journalism majors over the summer and she was selling magazines to help raise funds to reduce her out of pocket expenses for the ESPN summer program. She told me I would pay for the subscription, pick a military base of my choice, and when wounded soliders came back to the States, they could choose a magazine while they were healing.in addition I could pick out a charity of my choice and a donation would be made to them as well. She tried pushing me to pay her cash but I told her I would write her a check. I wrote the check to Absolute Marketing and placed her name VICTORIA SMITH in the memo line as she instructed me too. She handed me a receipt and off she went. Later that night, my neighbor came over, asked if I had bought any magazines I said yes and he told me it was a scam So I got on my computer and found this blog I dont know who I am more (Inappropriate Content Removed) at, her or myself for being so (Inappropriate Content Removed) stupid. This happened in York, Pa area
