Palmetto Marketing Inc. Nearly Ripped-off by Scam Con Artists, But Saved By "The Rip-Off Report". Thank you. Coral Springs, Florida
A young pretty Latino woman came to the door explaining that she was selling magazines so a group of high school graduates could go to Acapolco. Ya...right. The magazine prices were about twice what you can find online but I ordered figuring it was for a good cause.
When filling out the paperwork she neglected to tell me about the "Processing Service" charge of $10 and I told her that it was a little misleading. She said that the total of those charges is what will send her and the others to their vacation. That made me a little suspicous.
Another thing that concerned me was that she asked questions that were both conversational but also a little prying such as "do you live alone?", "what do you do?", "how often do you travel" After writing the check and saying goodbye I had a funny feeling and ran a search for PMI or Palmetto Marketing Inc. Thankfully, Rip-Off Report was there. So I called my bank and cancelled the check at a charge of $18.
This bothers me. The scam artists now have my checking account, they know where I live, know my occupation and other personal details. We all hate throwing money away and getting cheated but there may be a larger security issue here. Not paranoid, just thinking out loud. Bastards.

Oh ya, the cons name was Nicole Thunderhawk (cool name) and was new to San Diego. She plans on being a nurse and would eventually like to move to Houston. Lies I am sure.
