A young man came to our door selling magazine subscriptions. If you bought a subscription, part of the money from the subscription was to go to a fund to send children to college that couldn't afford it. The young man was very believable and when I told him that the subscription cost of $63.00 was too much for us at that time, he continued his speech on how I was helping someone go to college. I then picked out a magazine for my son's 8th grade graduation as a gift for him with the thought that some of the money would help a child go to college. I am furious that people would actually go out and solicit this false information just to rip people off.
The $63.00 cost is way too much for our family at this time, but I did without something else for our familyto justify spending this amount with the thought of helping someone else, s child out.
