I was working in my yard this afternoon when a young lady stopped me and introduced herself as a neighbor. She said she was home for the summer from college ( University of Michigan) where her major was theater. HOWEVER, she did need to quickly raise money for a trip to London in 4 days so she was selling magazines. I did not need any magazines, so she said I could contribute towards subscriptions going to our troops overseas. I thought that sounded good, and being naive and gullible, I wrote her a check for $30.00. After going online, I feel so foolish for falling for this scam. I immediately stopped payment on the check in hopes that they haven't cashed it yet. I thought of sending a telegram per their cancellation instructions, and realized I only had a PO Box for an address. Lesson learned.
