Margaret,you are not alone...the nearly 500 folks who have reported this companies practices represents a very small fraction of people who have been victimized in the same way...you not only paid more for periodicals you may never see-and I have written about this many times-these kids work for unscrupulous mgrs who pay nothing for the subscriptions that do clear.Not only are you being victimized, but the young man at the door is too.He will travel,lie to eat,be yelled at, and likely beaten if he does not produce.When they are done with him,he will probably have to rely on family to find his way home.Then he will be stuck with an IRS obligation he cannot pay.I cannot stipulate strongly enough,that you did nothing wrong,I only wanted you to have a little more perspective.Sadly,these young people will even defend this business in these forums.I urge you to contact your attorney general,be persistent and in the future-remember these crews almost always require a permit to work your area.If they cannot produce document on your doorstep...call the police right away.
