The sales gentleman was polite and said he wants a second chance. He was selling magazines to make a living now that he is out of the prison. I was willing to help by buying some magazines from him to send to VA hospitals, Boys and Girls clubs, or any charity organizations. The first quote was $320, I asked him to reduce it and the last quote was $120. He filled in an address to send the magazines to in Louisiana, where he came from. I said I prefer a local charity in my state. I asked him to show me a list of organizations in my area with addresses so I can pick one. He could not produce the list. He said he knows one organization in my area and filled in the address. The zip code was way wrong so I picked up my iPhone and searched for the address. The address could not be found with Google map, of course, it was a bogus address. I was trying to help him by giving him a second chance, but turned out that he and his "company (KLMN Readers Service)" is basically trying to scam me. I turned him down and bad words came out of his mouth. He was basically cursing me while he was leaving my front porch. I think there are better ways to help others, this is not a good one.
