Scammers selling magazines
 
After being scammed once before when buying magazines from solicitors (I still got my money back and magazines from the BBB), I have had a vendetta against those damn scammers asking for money to fund some BS trip or something. Tonight 2 girls came at my door doing the same old routine, only I signaled to my gf to call 911 and report fraud as I 'went to look for my wallet'.

I stalled them easily until the cops came, which was actually very quickly. The girls were arrested with 1st degree fraud and went to jail as they had 7 police reports against them.

It feels good to catch these low lives! Next up is catching a rim thief.. Now that would be sweet glory.

They make a whole back story on how they're you're neighbor, and that they're part of an organization that needs funding for a trip. To get funding, they try to sell multi year magazine subscriptions at top dollar using the sketchiest sales tactics. Once you give them a check, they take it to their pimps who change the amount and name on the checks, or steal bank account information if paid via credit card, or just run away with your cash. They return to their pimps and give the money/info they collected in return for drugs, not to mention they also are involved in sexual extortion with their superiors. It's similar to gypsies with a hint of human trafficing and a lot of financial fraud.

You can tell I've done a lot of research after getting scammed back in the day, and I'm just happy justice has been served.
