Ever hear of the "Go Doers"?

I got a visit recently from a high school graduate for a profit agency called the Go Doers Inc, headquartered in Washington DC.

This agency takes youth (and from what the salesperson said, mostly inner city youth) to cities around the country selling magazine subsciptions. This group appears to be nomadic, because they were in this area for X period of time, then moving on to another location, and couldn't tell me where.

Was wondering whether anyone encountered this group....

1. OK, folks, here is a consumer warning on this group..and others!

"News reports about serious problems with traveling door-to-door sales crews have been surfacing in the press for over 20 years.

By now nearly everyone has seen or heard some sort of bad news about these crews. Despite these reports, nothing has been done to regulate this industry in spite of two U. S. Congressional hearings and an outrageous, continuous outpouring of fresh stories of injuries and deaths of young salespeople.

We believe that part of the problem is the fragmented nature of the news stories, for these incidents occur randomly all over the United States because the jobs are travel jobs. There is, in fact, an order to these events--a pattern, a source. We are hereby correcting the problem of random information.

This site is dedicated to the archiving of news stories, convictions, and judgments in this sector of the door-to-door sales industry for perusal by the general public. We feel that the public has a right to know that these events have either happened in their state, or are likely to happen there in the future.

We feel that the public, by researching a particular interest on this website, will be able to readily see what the story is and what needs to be done. Most important, the public will be better able to protect its young people and keep them from falling prey to unscrupulous fly-by-night operators who make their living by trolling communities in search of a naive work force."
