Majestic Sales LLC Marquis Fulfillment Agency LLC Scammed by door to door magazine salesman. Donated $30 for magazines for troops in Pakistan. Had to insist on receipt. Buford, Georgia

A young man named Eddie Hoskin(s) appeared at my door this evening and said he is serving our country as a marine in Pakistan.  He stated he is on leave for six months and in a contest to sell the most subscriptions to magazines to send  to troops in Pakistan.

He introduced himself as a neighbor a couple of streets over whose father is a pediatrician named Dr. Johnson.  He told me his father said he would have to perform some service such as washing my car or cleaning my gutters in order to justify asking me for a donation for the magazine subscriptions.

He then showed me the list of magazines and asked me to choose two.  When I asked him the cost, I thought he said $18 for the two, but later saw $118 on the order form.  I told him I couldn't pay that amount.  He reduced it to another plan for $59, and I told him I wouldn't write a check for that amount, either.  He then said I could pay for half a subscription and he would find another person who could only pay for half.  He had an answer for everything until I asked for a receipt for the $30 donation I ended up giving him. 

He didn't want to give me a receipt and made up something like "I only have three receipts and I have several other people to see."  I told him I believed he approached me first and I required a receipt.  He reluctantly wrote one out.  This is when I really became suspicious, and after he left I checked out the company online.  The rules for canceling the donation are on the back of the receipt, so I've written Marquis Fulfillment Agency a letter demanding a cancellation because it is their policy not to cancel on the phone.
