Beware of door-to-door magazine scam now occurring in Douglas

The Douglas Police Department would like to make the community aware of a scam going on in Douglas and other local communities.  Douglas Police were made aware of this scam by a resident who fell victim to the fraud.  The victim reported two young white males who were going door-to-door selling magazine subscriptions.  The two young males invite themselves into your home and are very pushy.  They claim that it is a school related fundraiser based on points and that they are competing with fellow classmates for points.  They plead for you to help them make more points until you get fed up with them and give in.  The company they claim to represent, FloRd Agency, has an address out of Del Ray Beach, Florida, but does not have a telephone number.  The company is fraudulent and has been given an “F” rating by the Better Business Bureau.  The City of Douglas has not issued any required licenses for the door-to-door sales, so they are also operating in violation of City Code.
