Our police department warned our town of unlicenced, door to door sales people selling magazines for anything from supporting charities to helping students complete credits in their Communications class. Young men and women, some teenagers are working for scam based, illegal oufits teaching their staff how to put on a good show while pressuring them to meet quotas or not be paid. Don't be fooled into thinking your magazine will ever be delivered.
These organizations should be jailed for their practices. Word of advice - ask to call & speak to the salespersons manager and say you will need to check with better business and the police first.
