Magzine sales SCAM!

A polite, energetic salesman knocked on my door. He said that he out to sell magazine subscriptions, which can be donated to our troops abroad and/or children. Since I'm a giving person, I thought, why not? And paid for a subscription for our troops abroad. It was $20 that I "donated". After a few days, I've been bombarded with junk mail and bills for magazine subscriptions that I never signed up for. I donated a twenty-dollar bill for it to be used for sending magazine aboard. So I called up the company about these bills. The number on the receipt was (757) 818-9497. The number did not even work. All I got was a number is not working message.
I checked online to track where this number goes to, or if exists. I found this link

The person describes something virtually identical to what I've experienced (in terms of the sales person and the false magazine sales).
I advise that all door sales, in today's world (in the U.S.), are some form of scam. [Well, the Girl Scouts cookie sales are the only legit one I can think of right now.]
Anyway, looks like this company has changed its name from Worldwide Readers Service, Inc. To KLMN Readers Services, Inc.
I'm quite upset that my money has went to support some sort of scamming firm. I write this just so that anyone out there don't make the mistake I've made. I've learned my lesson: all door-to-door sales are scams!
