Scammed :'(

Sadly Jeff and I fell for the door to door magazine sale scam (Bummer)

Students about our age are soliciting these subscriptions saying that they will earn points towards trips, scholarships, ect and once you pay you never see these kids again or receive your product. Unfortunately it didn’t happen to just us, a few of our neighbors can tell you the same story, many of which just wanted to help a fellow student out. I guess a college town is a good mark for these sorts of things seeing as how the work-at-home scam is abundant down here as well.

Looking back on it, it’s insanely stupid (Hind sight is 20/20). Who charges $40 for 4 magazines per year? Why does it take 3 months to start up? Wouldn’t these magazines be offered by their own company and not mixed with other publications?

I’m sure before this we both thought we were too smart for scams. We don’t respond to snail mail telling us we’ve won a $1,000 gift card, we don’t open emails from over sea princes needing our help, and we sure don’t give out personal information on the phone.

We’re just going to look at it as $40 spent to gain a little real world wisdom and be thankful that we didn’t loose more.
