On September 9, 2009 this young man DJ came to our home telling us that his parents wanted him to do this to keep out of trouble and also earn points for college and that he was selling magazine subscriptions to do that. My husband & I both picked out what we wanted and paid for them in full. We paid half in a check and the rest in cash because he said that he got more points for getting cash. I guess we got hosed, how sad is that that these young students are going around ripping people off, times are tough and We could have used this money for other needed things. He said that it would be about 6-8 weeks and still no magazines. My husband had been saying all along that we have been scammed, and I guess I should have listened because he was right apparently.
We lost $159.00 to DJ and to think we thought we were helping a young man do something good for his future.
