HP Consulting, Inc. MD Network door to door magazine communications scholarship Idledale, Colorado

I cannot believe I fell for this scam.  I am a highly educated individual and I was suckered.  As soon as I realized that the second receipt was NOT a tax deductible form as she said, I ran outside to find the "girl" who purported to be trying to win a scholarship from Hp - being in the tech field I am familiar with the work they do generally in the community.

I didn't have cash, but wrote a check. paid $50 for a magazine that would normally be about $30 for a subscription but was assured half would be tax deductible.  Unfortunately she and my check were long gone.  I tried to call the non-emergency number for the police in my city and they were busy.

I plan to try and cancel the check first thing in the morning - but not sure I will have success.  I only hope I will not have to deal with any of the check fraud I have read about.

Cannot believe how stupid I was
