In the last few years, I've had several young men come to my door mid-day
during the summer months. Ostensibly, these men are selling magazines "to
improve themselves" through a point system but they never seem to have any
materials or anything official looking. My instinct has always been that
something isn't right about this but I can't quite figure out what it is.
Given the recent break-ins, I was wondering if anyone knows anything about
this?

This is a good thought---as I too have met up with these people from time
to time as well...Do you think either the police or the crime watch
committee would also be interested in this scenario? Howie

I did buy a magazine from these folks once and never received it.
I think the young folks are legitmately selling, but are working for sleezoids.?
I told one young lady that there had been 6 groups so far that summer and that
even if I wanted to buy from her I couldn't buy that many.? She really worked at
holding back the tears.? I told her that she is working for sleezes and she
would be better off working a different kind of job.
I think the 'magazine' company is conning both the sales folks and the buyer.

Not sure whether it's legitimate or not, but was informed not to let them in if they ask to use your bathroom (which of course, he did ask & I didn't allow it). Was told that they may be casing your home, & know someone who was in fact robbed while a couple of them were "using the bathroom".

Yes indeed.
The tears are because she is probably far from home, and unless she sells
enough subscriptions, they will not pay her transportation back home, but
leave her high and dry in a strange city. They may also be coming down hard
on her at the end of each day for not selling enough.
There have been several articles about this horror show in the last few
months, one (I think) in the NY Times.
