Recently there have been door-to=door magazine solicitors coming ’round Malibu homes when the gates are open. Typically it’s a Spring ritual that seems innocent enough. But these regional crews have been exploiting and scamming young workers for decades. Youths and unemployed adults are trapped into selling magazines while law-enforcement and Congress have tried but been unable to stop it.
The story line is fast-talking, to manipulate you quickly. Do a google search of ‘magazine sales scams’. You’ll see the scope of this scam and its unlawful aspects. Don’t let them fool you or get access to your credit card or checks.
