Should someone come to your front door asking you to buy magazine subscriptions to benefit the Boys and Girls Club, the club has issued the following statement:
Boys & Girls Clubs of King County (BGCKC) has discovered that recent suspicious activity has been wrongly attributed to the organization. It had come to the youth development agency’s attention that some young men have approached homes in Greenwood/North Seattle and Queen Anne using the Boys & Girls Club name in their sales pitch. The Clubs do not solicit donations using young people to sell magazines.
Door-to-door magazine sellers in greater Seattle mentioning the Boys & Girls Clubs may be engaged in illegal activity. Please notify police if you are solicited in such a manner.
Let me guess. They come to your door in the middle of the day. Isn’t that when people tend to be home?
Here’s a hint, all you would be do-gooders. They’re not coming to your house because they want to sell you a subscription. They’re casing you.
The magazine subscription sellers are scammers. Don’t be a victim.
