Magazine scam
Complaint Rating: 
Company information: Midwest Clearing Inc United States www.midwestclearing.com
On July 24, 2008 a door-to-door sales person came to our door selling magazines. He said that he was selling magazines to benefit a program that helps disadvantaged youths. He said the program would help them to get off drugs, and give them a chance to have a better life. I usually don't buy from door-to-door sales people, but the man was nice & well spoken so I decided that it would be a good cause to donate to. I wrote a check for $39.00 to Midwest Clearing Inc. and asked to have my magazines donated to a hospital. About 2 weeks later I was checking my bank balance online. I saw a debit entry (they had submitted the check electronically) from Midwest Clearing for $391.00. Then one week later, they submitted the actual check again for another $391.00. The bank is investigating, but so far I have not received the money back. I used to be trusting and wanted to believe that most door-to-door people were trustworthy, but now I am a skeptic just like most
everyone else. Too bad!!
Scammed in Seattle.
