| Door-to-Door Magazine Sales I'm sure you know the drill by now- a young, well-dressed teen knocks at your door and asks you to "Sponser" or "vote" for him so that he can earn a trip to Europe. All you have to do to vote for him is to purchase a magazine subscription. He charms you by mentioning that your friendly neighbor purchased two subscriptions. He also notices that you have toys in your front yard so he asks you if you would like a parenting magazine or a children's magazine. Before you know it, he has walked away with a chunk of your last paycheck and you're still standing there wondering why you purchased a three-year subscription to a magazine that you have no interest in. Here are a few things you should know about these magazine pushers: 1. They are almost always from another state. 2. They are well-trained and aggressive in their approach. 3. They often lie to get customers into purchasing overpriced magazines. 4. The "sales kids" are often exploited and mistreated by the companies. 5. Many are used to gain entrance to your house for robbery.

Warning: These can be scams at your door involving burglary or worse! |
