Tuscan Readers Services, Inc Aka United Family Circulation United Family circulation Pushy young man claiming to be my neighbor wanted me to give him money to send his youth ball team to Hawaii Buford, Georgia

A very pushy young man came to my door right before Thanksgiving asking me to give him money to sponser a child to travel for a sports final play-off game in Hawaii. He was very interested in getting the full amount, which I don't recall exactly, but was in the area of 75-80 dollars.

He was very gung-h*o about his plan and asked had I ever been to Hawaii. I told him that I had little interest in ever going there, and explained that I would like to call my husband because we discuss expepnditures greater than $50. He grew impatient and asked could I just give him $20 and be a partial sponser, as some of my other neighbors had opted to do.

He asked me to make the check out to "Tuscan Raders Services, Inc.", abbreviated as "TRSI". At the time I was not familiar with the company, Tuscan Readers Services, Inc. aka United Family Circulation. I believe the name variance was deliberate, as later my returned cancelled check was endorsed as "For Deposit Only, Tuscan Raders Servcices Inc." (That is not a typographical error, but verbatim text).

I gave him a personal check in the lesser amount that he had requested and was relieved when he left. The check cleared my bank on 11/24/09.  I noticed that he had made some strange notations on it in the Memo section, so I've attached a photo of it to this report.
