UD Management Group LLC Almost Scammed by Silver Tongued Saleslady Washington, D.C. Nationwide
I was approached by a well dressed young woman going door-to-door to which I usually don't respond. However, I did and listened to her pitch which was well delivered (well rehearsed and memorized) and went hook, line and sinker in the amount of $185. I don't read magazines, but I thought they would make a nice gift for my niece who has two young children. Anyway, after she left with my check, I decided that maybe I should check out this organization. to my chagrin I found out that they were a group with many complaints filed against them. Obviously, I should have done this first which I will do in the future, but on that day I was caught feeling generous and trusting.
I immediately stopped payment on the check (cost $20) and the next day sent a telegram canceling the transaction (cost $41). These were accomplished via the internet, I didn't have to leave my house. I was also aware of the law in Virginia which gives the consumer three days to cancel a contract effected from a door-to-door salesperson.
This was unfortunate because the pitch made sense if it was legitimate. I've become very jaded and skeptical and will ensure that if there is a next time, I'll reverse the process and check out the company first.
Bottom line is it cost me $61+ to save $185 and generated a new awareness which I had allowed to get lax.
I hope that my experience will help someone avoid these same mistakes.
