Experience Sales Door To Door Sales Scam Phoenix Arizona

Buyer beware of Experience Sales (and probably any door to door sale!)

A young man came to my front door in the evening, posing as a neighbor and local college student.

The story was that he was selling magazine subscriptions for a trip to London to do internship work with the BBC

In looking at the situation now, there were so many redflags .... including the internship story ... yet somehow I did fall for his story

After he left I looked up the company, Experience Sales.  I discovered that their format is to hire independent contractors and send them all over the country selling magazine subscriptions.  "Zach" could not have been a neighbor and local college student.  I also discovered many complaints against this company.

Buyer beware .... I certainly should have taken my time and researched before making a purchase!!

But .... I purchased 3 magazine subscriptions.  I was overcharged (the total I was charged was more than the amounts listed on the receipt).

Also, the prices were outrageous for magazine subscriptions.  I should have realized this at the time of the sale, but I didnt.

Yes, my bad on that ... but "Zach" was not ethical in the sales experience.

The salesman ("Zach") did not put his name on the sales receipt.  I have contacted the company online via their contact page.  I have mailed back the form to cancel the sales.  It requires cancellation within 3 days ... the company is in AZ.  I am in FL ....yet another fishy aspect.

There is no phone number on the receipt or the website.

There was a phone number listed on BBB website.  I will call that and see.

In addition, the sales person was awfully flattering/flirtatious. .... and I mean awful .... horrible lines .... even asking several times for a hug at the end and asking when he could return for a candle lit dinner.  Perhaps that approach works with some people.  I found it awful.  Yes, I did fall for the magazine sales (because I foolishly believed he was a college student and I wanted to help out... (not because of his awful lines) .... and I did not research the business before purchasing).

No professional sales person in their twenties should be hitting on a middle aged mother  .... such disrespect. 

No professional person of any age should hit on anyone actually !! His behavior was truly harrassing .... again, in retrospect I should have given him the boot before making any purchases.... but I didnt want to be disrespectful ... foolish me.   Even after the sales he kept talking .... I finally had to shoo him away. 

Please Please .... buyer beware of this company!!!!
