A balck guy was going from door to door in my community trying to sell magazines(February 8, 2008--a Friday) for: URBAN DEVELOPMENT SOLUTIONS, INC. Usually, i don't buy things at my door. But when he stated, some of the proceeds would be used to pay for his and others education, feeding, etc i decided to buy. My neighbor standing nearby blinked at me not to buy, but i still went ahead thinking it was for a good course. Later that night, i went online to view the company's website, i had a different story from what i'd been made to believe. I was upset, tried calling the company over the weekend, but no one to talk to. Finally on Monday, got hold of the Manager, Joseph whom i explained all this too, and he promised to cancel the order with the information i gave to him, gave me a fax number which i finally sent the copy of my receipt to the next day. But i never received my check back as promised and in late February i sent a copy of the fax by mail to him. But then lastweek(mid March) i found that he went ahead and presented the cheque. Called him, and he denied ever speaking to me, never received a fax, and that he only received the fax copy i mailed in late February. But when i told him i had a copy of the fax that stated the fax was sent and i was going to make this a big issue, then did he say he reeived the fax and that my refund would be sent when i send my statement stating the payment was made.
I've made up my mind bever to help this way anymore, i don't care if the contribution is for a worthy cause or not.
This is a fraudulent company and my homeowners will be getting involved to make sure door -to-door soliciting is prohibited in the community especially with this company.
