MFS BOOK FULFILLMENT CENTER BOOK SCAM - COLLEGE ATHELETE NEEDED TO RAISE MONEY FOR A TRIP TO A TOUNAMENT Phoenix, Arizona
In October, an attractive college student said she was from the neighborhood. My husband and I didn't recognize her family name, but that is not unusual. She told us she was trying to raise money so her soccer team could go to a tournament abroad. Who she was and her personal information was not relevant to me (I guess it should have been), since the children's books she showed us were perfect for my grandson. I bought 4 books for $55. We finally got one book of the set in late-November. It arrived in a USPS Media Mail brown, padded envelope. It is a hardbacked lovely book, but just one of the set of 4, no invoice included. The return address was from MFS Book Fulfillment Center, Phoenix, AZ. I tried to find a street address or web address or phone number, but could not find anything.
In mid-November a young man came to the door with a similar story, but I closed the door on him. When I finally did report the incident to the local police to watch for the scam artists in the neighborhoods around me, the officer said I should have called the police immediately, calling 911, so they could have an officer there to pick up the salesman.
Just so you know, DO NOT DO BUSINESSES WITH THIS COMPANY.
