Door to Door Scams

LMJ Neighborhood Watch Members,

I have forwarded two messages below that I received tonight – Monday Oct 17th  - and hope you didn’t get caught in this scam as well!  “Marquis Fulfillment Agency”  is associated with SCAM complaints all over the internet – and their website listed below does not exist. 

 They had a van load of kids out getting donations today under false pretenses.  If they come out here again - be aware – and tell them to leave this neighborhood.  If you gave them a check – see if you can cancel it – but it’s probably already cashed.  One resident went to the bank and closed out his account and opened a new one for protection.

I’ve let our deputy know about this as well (I’m betting it’s a fake tag)  but we are the front line – so make sure your neighbors are aware of this!  Don’t know that they will come back the very next day – but at some point they will come back! ( I think they were out here a few months earlier this year!)

Question anyone selling door to door if you don’t know them!!  Special thanks to Laura and Gary for reporting detailed info about the people going door to door!

Subject: money scam in live oaks

Suzanne, as we discussed earlier today Oct 17,11 Monday. We were approached in our home by a young man claiming to be Mike Mathews, new to the area living in Live Oaks on Bramble Bush and representing the Wounded Warriors Project. After we made a donation I became suspicious when I saw the van so I sent my wife to that house as I followed it out and to 15 south. She found out that he had been there also and it was all a LIE. He also claimed he was representing the baseball team the that was part of the WMBA? names the Ghost, which is a young Christian men's baseball travel team and that a small part of the money would be going to them don't know if this is even a team in Orlando or FL. Mike also said he was going to be attending UCF next season as member of their baseball team and that he was a pitcher. 

Majestic Sales, is on the receipt along with  www.marquisfulfillmentagency.com, would be getting 25% of all money collected for his baseball team the Ghost. 

He was picked up in a white extended van license # GC 4444-12  which was filled with all young white boys.  they have been in the neighborhood for several hours before coming to my house. 

Please alert everyone to this scam.   if you go to the web site you will see the reports of the scam. 

He was very convincing !

Hi Suzanne,

There is an extremely nice young man knocking on doors in the neighborhood claiming to raise money for his soccer team. The fundraiser matches a scam that is reported on the web: Marquis Fulfillment Agency. He claims to be a soccer player, but smokes. He says his mother and father are both in the military and live in the fourth house on the right on Conifer, his mother’s name is “Kathy”.  I am pretty sure that is not our neighbor.  He is selling care packages for the troops.

Just wanted to let you know so you can pass it along.
