Not a call, but a visit to my front door........two black females, one husky and the other one thin.  Their story, trying to escape from the inner city life style and earn credit points to go to college, by selling mag subscriptions or books and change their lives.
    I was in the middle of laying some floor tile and just wanted to get rid of them and get on with my project.  I bought a mag subscription for $22 because of them wearing me out with their story.  
    After they left, I had some time to think about it and they seemed somewhat suspicious and I think that they were accompanied by a dude, black, that walked the street ahead of them, my guess, scoping it out.  Because I later left my house and saw them walking together.  
    After reading another account from someone else describing the " two black females" coming to their door, and the buyer never receiving their subscriptions.  I decided to put a stop on my check, just because of the principal on the thing.  None of us like to feel like we have been scammed, and our giving nature taken advantage of.
    Later.........

Called to find out where my magazines were - $62.00 worth.  Not a working number.  Greater Images, Inc. 299 Chulahoma Road, Holly Springs, MS 38635.  I guess I got suckered on this one.  The "inner city" kid seemed legit 'though.
