Taken Advantage of in Atlanta

I was living in Atlanta, Ga. A pretty young woman knocked on the door to my apartment, selling magazine subscriptions. She was very frustrated from having walked around all day, being told "no thank you" and having doors shut in her face. She hadn't made a single sale all day. I invited her in, apologizing that my place was a mess. I listened to her spiel, but really, I was on a budget, and didn't need any magazines. She said she really didn't want to hit the bricks again, and offered to clean my whole apartment if I bought 3 magazine subscriptions. That would have cost me some $45, and for less than half of that, I could have hired a cleaning lady. so I declined. Next, she said she'd do ANYTHING if I just bought the 3 subscriptions. Her meaning was pretty clear. I got TV Guide, Reader's Digest, and Sports Illustrated. She got sore tonsils, and a sore ass. (She'd only wanted to do vaginal, not anal. But I didn't have a condom, and the last thing I needed was her coming back in a few months with a paternity suit. So I rolled her over, and, well, I guess I may have "forced" the issue a bit.) Then she informed me that I'd have to pick 3 more magazines, because she was "feeling kind of raped, and didn't really want to have to get the police involved. " Looking back now, I have to smile. but at the time, I was pretty pissed. I added Popular Mechanics, Golf Digest, and some photography mag to my order. Except for TV Guide, I cancelled them all after the first copy, and got most of my money back. By then, she'd been paid her fee, I'm sure. Not a single sale all day. Ha! I bet she was the best damn sales chick that magazine company ever had.

Tell the cops that you have been ripped off then they will definitely sort out your matter.
