Coast to Coast Sales, INC; Clearing Business through Marquis Fulfillment Agency LLC Not so Innocent door to Door Schemers Buford, Georgia

In October of 2010 I opened my front door to 2 young gentleman claiming to be from the local high school.  The pitched a story saying they are raising money for housing to go study abroad because the previous year's group got hurt.  As sucker, I sypathezied with the story and wanted to support my local community.

I never like solicitation at my house.  I rarely open the door but for some reason that afternoon I did and I decided to make the purchase.  I was hesistant to buy saying I already have magazine subscriptions and they came back telling me about which magazines their moms like and which recipes were a family favorite.  It all seemed geninue.  They said the subscription would be for 2 years and about $1.75 an issue.  So they asked for a check of $45 and not really doing the calculation of cost I figured about $2 for 24 issues $45 sounded right.  The deal was done but I felt a gut instinct something was wrong.

I felt scammed after closing the door.  I looked at the receipt and it was written up as only a one year subscription and said it would take about 120 days to process.  Then it also dawned on me that it was  around 11:30am  on a weekday.  Don't these seniors have school today?   So I called the local high school, they claimed the were from, and asked if any seniors are selling magazines to go to Spain.  The secretary said yes their might be a group doing something of that nature but it is not school related.  I rested easily alittle bit.  The check was cashed within the week and I waited. I also checked on the price of the magazine I ordered, Family Fun, and it normally is only $10 a year so I breathed and told myself oh its for charity, the extra $30, it's going to be ok.  I felted cheated but I didn't want to live doubting the world of dishonesty.

I waited till this month February 2011 and decided search the company on the receipt.  Then like a car crash...BAM...I saw the title "scam" pop up from this website. I read another person story from another state so I had to share my story so these disgustingly evil villians scammers will not get you.  What scared me even more after reading the other post was I too trusted these people and left the door open to go get my checkbook in other room.  I can't imagine what they could have done and my toddler was with me too.  It makes me so mad and sad that these 2 gentleman have ruined my trust of the world.

Lesson learned: If I ever want to donate to charity or help an organization financially I will contact the organization directly.
