This same girl (Katie Gregory, blonde with lip piercing) visited me outside Charlotte, North Carolina. Very similar story, very similar tactic. Her story was that she was a local and trying to raise money to go to school at a local university. I wanted a subscription but refused to pay their processing fee. She agreed to waive it, stating she was going to pay for it out of her own pocket so she could get the "points" for the sale. I gave her a check, she left, I spoke with a buddy and then found this site, and immediately got in my car and tracked her down in my neighborhood. She was at the entrance to the neighborhood waiting to be picked up. I demanded my check back telling her that I discovered her companies shady business practives. She didn't want to give it back, but after threatening to call the police, and dialing 911 on my phone, she finally agreed. I tore the check up and told her to have a good day. She was NOT happy about this at all. Suspicious of her not really being a local, I asked her what high school she went to. Her immediate response was that she was home schooled. I am pretty sure she knew I was on to her scam.
