There were two ladies knocked in our door. They introduced themselves as a student and trying to win 20, 000 points for scholarship. They will force you to write a checks and tell you that you can cancel your subscription anytime. It's not true! Don't let them come in your house. Do not let any young kids like these fool you and tell you that they need help to get into the school but they are not!
Darren Willis number 713.408.1242. I got a answer with this number. .. from another bad review
I fell for it 3 week s ago, now I'm short $60 bucks off my bank account, hand cancel and open a new one. Lucky me I have cameras in and outside my home so the whole incident was capture . I'll be taking it to the police department today! Greensboro, NC
I was working at a mall in Katy, Texas back in the summer of 2016 to help pay for my first car. When I decided to go to the food court for my lunch break, I was approached by a young man and woman who said they were trying to get scholarships for entrance into the University of Houston. Being a current student at UH myself, understanding how hard it can be to scrape together enough money for tuition and being thankful that my parents have enough to give me a free ride through college, I decided to humor them.
I listened to their story about how they were trying to get these scholarships by showing their public speaking abilities in convincing strangers to donate to a charity program to give books to kids in hospitals or something like that that the UH public speaking department was working with, and that they were just a few points away from wining this . I should have stopped them there and called the university to confirm their story, but I was too embarrassed to doubt their story right in front of them, so I decided to err on the side of kindness and listen to what they had to say. I ended up donating $158.75, which the guy insisted I give him as a pre-paid gift card when I said I didn't have the cash or a checkbook on me (boy am I glad I didn't have a checkbook on me). He wrote up on a record of sale that looked very official, and gave me a copy, telling me that that I might be able to get the money back as a tax deduction. Now I'm trying to file for my tax return, and there will definitely be no deduction. The website listed on the sales record, www.millennium-sales.net, is an empty domain, and the phone number is equally fictitious.
Frankly, I don't know what kind of person you have to be to run a scam like this. These people knew I was a college student working a minimum wage job to try and get a leg up in life. I remember the guy who did all the talking asked me why I decided to donate (probably just his way of making the illusion more convincing), and I told him I knew what college tuition fees were like, was thankful I had parents who could pay them for me, and that helping someone in need was what God wants us to do for each other. I needed that money to help get a car, but I gave it freely without any expectation of a return until the guy told me that my donation was tax-deductible. What kind of person do you have to be to go up to someone with a big friendly smile and steal from them when they're to help you even though need the money themselves?
All in all, I'm annoyed that this happened to me, but I suspected it might be a scam from the start and went along with the sales pitch anyway. In a way I'm thankful this happened. The money lost is almost worth the cost of the lesson I've learned from this, and I will never donate to someone panhandling for donations in public again.
Whoever is complaining about the company is right. I use to work for these people and they're nothing but scam's. They also put you in these hotel rooms with these hood rats. Also you must be up every morning except on Sunday's. When I first arrived to the hotel i didn't think much bad of the place but when I saw how the crew acted I was like wow. It was a big mess all they did was smoke weed, and everybody fights with each other it's like a reality show. I left cause I got tired of going door to door telling these people about these overpriced books that you can go to a book store and buy. But bottom line this is a scam company cause alot of the people don't receive their books and it's embarrassing when one of your family members try to support you and they don't receive their book it's sad people work too hard for their money.
