Success Express Sales Inc. I was scammed, and then my wife also was scammed while I wasn't there. Gig Harbor, WA, Washington

My name is Troy Edin, I live in Minot ND.  A few months ago, a young gentleman came to my door stating he was trying to earn points to go to Europe.  He showed me some pamplet and order forms with "SUCCESS EXPRESS SALES" listed as the company.  Long story short, after laying out to me about a BS story about his dad being a veteran and having been stationed in Germany, just like myself when I was in the army, and himself also being from Minot, I was stooped in wanting to help him out, so I didn't notice the scam until months later, (today), after another kid with the same sales pitch and deal from the same company, came to my door and talked my wife into getting another magazine!  This kid gave her almost the same BS story except in more detail and he was honest that he traveled around from state to state selling magazines to make points.  He told her that he had already sold numerous magazines today, and his company had put him up in a hotel here in town.  He had just come from Montana, and already had been in Washington state selling magazines.  So, after hearing everything my wife had to say, I realizedthat I still haven't recieved any magazines myself, even after I placed my stupid order many months ago. So, I reluctantly called our bank and canceled the check ASAP to ensure we didn't get charged another $71.00 like before.  I then was curious and came online to find all of these other people that have been dooped by this scam and decided to make this post.  I wish I had seen these stories earlier, however, at least others can learn from our mistake.
