My wife and I were approached by two young men trying to sell magazines to earn points to win them a vacation... As the story goes for many, we're beyond the 120 days and still no magazines. Makes a person feel real good about the country they live in when scams like this are allowed to continue. I just started with phone numbers that I've found on various web sites, but don't have much hope.

A young man came up to our door and asked if we would so kindly help him make it some money to fund a high school trip. He was very young and we thought that we would help him out and at the same time my daughter could get her magazines through him.

Anyway, we ordered this May 7th of 2009 and have yet to receive even one magazine. We feel that we have been scammed and wanted to inform other people to watch out for these young people they train to become scam artists.

My colleague just mentioned that it is like Fagin teaching his very young goonies to become tricksters.
