Experience Sales Door To Door Sales Scam Phoenix Arizona
Buyer beware of Experience Sales (and probably any door to door sale!)
A young man came to my front door in the evening, posing as a neighbor and local college student.
The story was that he was selling magazine subscriptions for a trip to London to do internship work with the BBC
In looking at the situation now, there were so many redflags .... including the internship story ... yet somehow I did fall for his story
After he left I looked up the company, Experience Sales. I discovered that their format is to hire independent contractors and send them all over the country selling magazine subscriptions. "Zach" could not have been a neighbor and local college student. I also discovered many complaints against this company.
Buyer beware .... I certainly should have taken my time and researched before making a purchase!!
But .... I purchased 3 magazine subscriptions. I was overcharged (the total I was charged was more than the amounts listed on the receipt).
Also, the prices were outrageous for magazine subscriptions. I should have realized this at the time of the sale, but I didnt.
Yes, my bad on that ... but "Zach" was not ethical in the sales experience.
The salesman ("Zach") did not put his name on the sales receipt. I have contacted the company online via their contact page. I have mailed back the form to cancel the sales. It requires cancellation within 3 days ... the company is in AZ. I am in FL ....yet another fishy aspect.
There is no phone number on the receipt or the website.
There was a phone number listed on BBB website. I will call that and see.
In addition, the sales person was awfully flattering/flirtatious. .... and I mean awful .... horrible lines .... even asking several times for a hug at the end and asking when he could return for a candle lit dinner. Perhaps that approach works with some people. I found it awful. Yes, I did fall for the magazine sales (because I foolishly believed he was a college student and I wanted to help out... (not because of his awful lines) .... and I did not research the business before purchasing).
No professional sales person in their twenties should be hitting on a middle aged mother .... such disrespect.
No professional person of any age should hit on anyone actually !! His behavior was truly harrassing .... again, in retrospect I should have given him the boot before making any purchases.... but I didnt want to be disrespectful ... foolish me. Even after the sales he kept talking .... I finally had to shoo him away.
Please Please .... buyer beware of this company!!!!

I live outside of London. The BBC does not offer internships to Americans. You have to be from the UK to apply.
This company has an F rating with the BBB, 50 complaints with them and 14 negative write-ups. There are over 25 complaints about them here. If you research online, you will read about these kids getting kicked out of neighbourhoods by the police.
You've probably lost your money and will never see a magazine but at least you've warned people.
