A young girl came to my house asking for help to win a trip by buying a magazine subscription. She would receive points for the magazines I bought and then more points if I paid in cash.
She was very nice and made it very believable. She identified with me by saying she had a autistic nephew because I am a special education teacher. She said she was trying to pay for school down in Arizona to be a message therapist. She was traveling around the area and also selling magazines.
This was a month ago and friend called told me a similar story and had called the police who chased them out of the city (I thought they should be arrested) because it was a scam.
She gave me a receipt and everything-it really looked believable and now I am out $50.00.
