Type of a scam Charity
In March of his year (2016) a young Hispanic women with brown hair, brown eyes, & fairly heavy set came knocking on our apartment door. She claimed to be with a Church in the Valley and was offering magazines. She said they were to support her trip to see Italy through the church. She mentioned how the church took in troubled kids and raised them. Somehow this should’ve been my first clue but being a women that had a rough past, I felt the need to help. If someone didn’t help me I wouldn’t be as successful as I am today. We looked through a list of magazines and choose one for my 2 kids. My fiancé was standing beside me and offered cash. Which we paid $44.00 for. She said because it was a kid magazine she got more "points" for it. She told my fiancé & I it could take up to 4 weeks. We waited 120 days to try and report it as the back of the receipt said it could take that long. I did not receive any information other than what’s on the written pad receipt. I tried to use the email on the receipt and it’s not a working email. I looked them up online and see this isn’t their 1st scam. What I am thankful for is I gave cash! It’s also her Karma and not mine. Downside is it’s a dead end for finding cash to get back.
