HP Consulting, Inc. Teenagers posing as college students raising money for scholarships by selling magazines... SCAM ARTISTS Idledale, Colorado

It's a Saturday morning when a young teenage female rings my doorbell. She tells me she is raising money for scholarship money so she can attend the University of Tennessee.  I invite her in and she proceeds to give me her sales pitch.  She gets points for so many magazine subscriptions that she gets.  If I do this and if I do that, she gets double points or triple points....so on and so forth.  I am a very giving and trusting person, so I fell for it. 

I subscribed to 6 magazines with 1 year subscriptions to the tune of $349.  A red flag went up in my mind when she said they were non-renewals.  I would not be receiving anything when my year was up to renew. The second red flag was when she asked if I could pay some in cash and the rest by check....ODD.  She said she received 5 points for every dollar in cash she collected.  After she left, I immediately googled the company.  All I could find were these websites of Ripoff Report. 

I then got in my car and found the girl down the road from my house.  I confronted her, told her what I had discovered on the internet and that she had 2 choices.  She could give me my check and cash back or I would call the police and wait there with her until they came.  I am one of the lucky ones who recovered my money. I happened to see the van being used to transport these kids.  So when I got home I did call the police and file a report.  Hopefully they will catch them and stop this ring of scam artists.
