A young girl came to my home offering to sell some children books for $48.00. Part of the money was suppose to be used to sponsor a softball team on a final competition and part for a children's hospital.
She claimed to live in my same neighborhood, a detail that made me feel comfortable. I fell for her story and wrote her a check for the books which at the time she promised would not be cashed until Jan 18. I was suppose to receive the books within a week. Of course that never happened.
I had never been victim of a scam before in my life and i can't begin to tell you how it feels, because now not only am i out of the money (which could've been used for a christmas present for my daughter) but i have my daughter asking me for the books every single day.
I refuse to sit back and let it go. If you have been a victim i encourage you to take action I definitely will!!!
