Periodical & Publication Connection Young man selling books to earn money for sports trip scammed me for $160. Buford Georgia

A young man who said he lived in my neighborhood came to my door selling educational books. He said he was doing this to raise money for his baseball team to go out of town for a special tournament. I was suspicious, then he referred to my next door neighbor by name implying that she knew him and his family. I bought two books and then he pushed for me to buy a book to be donated to a charity cause. He said that his coach would call me the following week to confirm the transaction. I wrote a check for $160. I have never heard anything else, then decided to google the name of the company, which led me here.
