NEWTON - The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has warned that deceptive door-to-door magazine and educational book sales crews are hitting the pavement and looking to earn a quick buck this summer.
In the last 12 months alone, BBB has received 1,100 complaints from consumers in 46 states and the District of Columbia against more than 50 companies that are selling magazines door-to-door. In Catawba County, several individuals have reported to Catawba County Schools that some of these sales representatives are soliciting in several communities in the county.
These salespersons have said they are representing Catawba County Schools when making their sales pitch to parents with children. Catawba County Schools is not associated with, nor do they endorse or recommend their products. If you're uncomfortable or threatened with the tactics used by these individuals, contact the Catawba County Sheriff's Office.
