Midwest Circulation LLC Crude scam!

Two people who looked to be teenagers came to my door fast talking about points and trips and children and vets... i didn't know what was what... but since my war veteran neighbor had just donated to them i figured it was safe.

They were asking a minimum of $56.00 "donation" for books and magazines to go to children's hospitals and veterans. I make
only $100 per week and offered my sincere apologies but could not afford that. He then said that there was an order which needed $28 to complete for children's books to be sent to a hospital. That i could scrape together so i wrote a check.

After getting my information (address, phone< etc..) He then asked "Are you 420 friendly!?" I was shocked and asked why in the world he would ask me that!? He then proceed to tell me he asked certain younger people in hopes that they would "donate
buds" to him... i asked for my check back and they promptly left.

I immediately looked up online what Midwest circulation LLC was and was flooded with complaint forums and news pieces headed SCAM! BEWARE! It cost me $30.00 to stop payment on that $28.00 check i wrote but better than it going into the hands of such arrogant thieves! please do not make the same mistake as i did. Good luck

Midwest Circulation LLC have not received subscription

On April 28, 2012 a young lady came to my door and said her name was Tasha (she was black) selling magazines for a trip she was competing for. She was really nice. But she also made a comment about another guy in Leavenworth she knew was selling magazines and a man that came to the door punched him in the stomach and shut the door. anyway I wrote check number 1305 (which was cashed) for an amount of $62.00 for the Girls Life Magazine (Magazine Code 4404) I did notice that the sheet of magazines I was looking at was outdated and asked her about it and she stated it is still good. It was for 6 issues for $48 plus $14 postage and handling. I have not received any magazines to date or had my money refunded.
Thank you

A young man came to my door on March 20, 2010, claiming that they were selling magazines door to door for school to earn a trip overseas, I am so upset now I dont even remember where he was claiming to go. I bought $194 worth of magazines because I felt bad for him. That and he sold a good pitch but when it came down to it, they were really very expensive...
