There is a guy going door to door selling magazine subscriptions and books for Omni Horizons. I googled them and there were several sites indicating this is a scam. For example – http://www.counton2.com/cbd/news/local/article/scam_alert_magazine_door-to-door_sales_in_charleston/21003
and http://thenewsdispatch.com/main.asp?SectionID=1&SubSectionID=1&ArticleID=23061&TM=37585.55
The young man who came to my door asked a lot of person questions, against my better judgement I let him come in the foyer of my home. Then he told me he wanted to give me a hug and tried to hug me. I sent him out.
If you google Omni Horizons Scam you will read some pretty scary stuff about this group. Be careful.
I have already called the police, but if you see this guy you can give them a call too. The SBPD’s 24-hour number for non-emergency calls and general information is (574) 235-9201.
Last night a short Hispanic-looking man driving a white car knocked on our door looking for Margaret. There is no Margaret here. My husband answered the door but I wonder if that was a ploy to gain entrance to our home?
