In May 2007, two young ladies rang my door bell asking me to purchase magazine subscription(s) to help them obtain a trip to Mexico. They were both very personable, although Tenesia did the majority of the talking. She answered all my questions in detail and explained their process and friendly competition with other young sales people.
After viewing their list of available magazines, I asked about gift purchases and they said "no problem". I agreed to buy a one year subscription to large print Prevention magazine for my grandmother's birthday. her birthday was two months away and Tenesia assured me the magazine would be arriving by July. It is NOT. I paid by check and it has long since cleared my account (no hope of placing a stop payment). Attempts to reach the company have not been successful.
The cost was more than a subscription would be if I had purchased directly from the magazine. Tenesia provided a company telephone number when I asked and wrote out a receipt explaining one copy for my records, one for tax purposes.

you think this is bad, look up palmetto marketing inc. same company owned by Vincent Pitts but they changed their name to Freedom Sales. Hmmm... too much bad internet publicity... I don't know, maybe

20/20 did a show on this scam awhile back. Usually these are ppl from a crackhouse going out and trying to make a few bucks during the day.
It wasnt easy to say no to a short skirt and some cleavage though was it?

I just want to put my side of the story out there. My name is Tenesia and I am the girl that did the talking at the door. I worked for Freedom sales from 03/07 until 05/09 and there are real contests (a couple other people went on them during Christmas but I believe they where rigged).
If you got ripped off it was the company that I was working for that did it not me. I never ripped anyone off or steal any money.
There are many people that work for these companies because they have nothing left. I was homeless, jobless, and felt like my life was over. My cousin called me and told me about this cool job that pays for your hotel room and all I had to do was travel around selling magazines. And no matter what I got $20 bucks a night. That met I would have food and a bed to sleep in every night. Coming from where I was this was good news.
I have made a lot of mistakes in my life but never did I join this company knowing they was ripping people off. I didn't find out until much later and when I found out I was still broke because unless you get at least 10 magazines sold in a day or get some donations you don't make barely any money.
Companies like this that 18-30 year olds that have made a mess of their lives and act like they are giving them hope. You got ripped off and so do most of us. I came broke and left with even less stuff then I came with.
They are horrible companies, most of them ( there are christen companies that do the right thing out there). Most people on crews (as we call them) are addicted to drugs (including weed, pills, crack, and coke and almost any drug you can think of, I even gave up my morals and values and tried everything), having sex for money or magazine sales(NEVER did that, thank God), and every night is a party at the hotel. Even the boss (Vincent Pitts) pays girls on crew for sex.
I look back and think "It was fun traveling" but other then that it made me crazy to the point I thought I was really mental and I had to leave before I completely lost myself in that life style or world. That is what they want you to do.
Sorry about the long story but I just really wanted to say I'm sorry you got ripped off and if I could pay everyone that got ripped off because of a magazine I sold them I would but prob not going to happen. I would tell people to look in to suing this man because he is living large in FL off the money he had us steal from people. Once again I am sorry you got ripped off. God Bless.
