NEVER trust a magazines salesmen. I recruited A LOT OF THEM. Long story short, the ones that were scamming, didn't find out that the magazines never arrived until MONTHS after working there. Some quit the job after finding out, others were in dire need of supporting their family and couldn't quit (thats where I came in).

And yes, for door-to-door leaving "literature" is STUPID. Every rep I trained would NEVER give them ANYTHING to leave the customer besides a signed contract ordering our service (TV, Internet, Phone). Reason is simply because you overwhelm your customer with things to read before making a decision, you want a decision while your AT THE DOOR! Also, print-outs cost money. If there scamming you, there actually more likely to have a crap load of stuff on them to try to convince you it's "OKAY" to give them your personal information.

My advice: Never magazines, and if you buy any TANGIBLE (non-service related) product, PAY CASH.
