Palmetto Marketing ripoff READ THIS IT'S WORST CASE YET! They broke into my apartment! Coral Springs Florida
I'm eating lunch with my roommates and we hear a knock on the door. One of us gets up to answer it and it't a guy about 18-20 years old selling magazines. He seems nice and cracks a few jokes to humor us, probably thinking we are more likely to buy something from him this way.
He then goes on to tell us that he needs to sell as many magazines as possible to win a free trip to cancun (not the first time they have come to our door). We say no thanks like in the past. he then says "come'on man please, the girls win every year and us guys are in the lead right now so help us out." My roommate says no thanks and shuts the door.
We leave for spring break (we are all students of the University of Delaware)about 4 days after he was at our door. We come back a week later and find 2 out of 4 of the bedroom doors have huge holes in them where someone kicked them in. The other 2 are never locked so who ever did it just walked right in.
Come to find out today, which is about a week after we got home from break, that two checks have been stolen from each room. The two checks stolen from me were written out to PMI for $220.00 each. The other six checks averaged out to about $180.00 per check. All of them written out to Palmetto Marketing, Inc.. There is some number on the top of the checks which looks like a license number, but probably not a real one.
By the way who ever it was also helped himself to my credit card, 2 playstations, and an Ipod. I am guessing that it was only one person and only took what he could carry out because there was a lot more that could have been stolen.
I will check back to this site often to see if anyone has any more information on this company.

in an earlier comment somebody actually said that they used to work there and were telling everyone about them and how they were treated and said that those two broke in somebodys house and stole checks and used them to buy other orders to magazines for like two weeks. and if the thing was ek-jw-o41. that means jeff wendsor was the car handler, and they worked for pitts sales which is 041, but the ek dont match oup with the names of who broke in. cause ek is the intials of the person that sold you the magazine. i dont know who that is, but he or she must have said something to trey and chuck or used one of those checks they stole for them as well. i hope you guys understand that.i used to work there to thats how i know so much.

About the writing on top of the checks:
usually the first one is the van drivers initials, second is the kids initials, then the number of what group they are in, and then the number of the receipt for which the checks they forged paid for.
Look like this?
EK - JW 041 42430698
if both sets of letters keep changing on each check that would meen there were more kids involved than just one. It could also mean the same if one keeps changing because one is the van driver and you usually stay in the same unless you get kicked out. But another good thing is, if you could remember the name of this kid from he introduced himself than you should be able to tell which initial is his.
I don't know man good luck though, can't really help if I'm not talking directly. Tried though, hopfully you catch the punk who did it though.

Hey DUDE thats crazy but good news you can get back. The numbers on the top of the receipt is the kids name car handler and reciept number call the company 954 341 8135 and the authorites cause chances are they got more then you think. You can track down the kid and the company but you have to contact the authorities quick. Also just for kicks respond and tell me what the kid looked like i probally know who it is and could help out. sorry nate Also contact wilmington FBI they have a fraud and credit Dept. out there.
