The scammer showed what appeared to be 'official' ID which is where I saw the Team Xtreme Sales company name. He was selling books in a competition to win a trip to London where he wouldget to interview John Cleese (of Monty Python fame) and go to the Globe Theatre.

He tried to sell me $110 worth of children's books and said some of the money would go towards helping kids. After I told him I was not in a position to spend that kind of money, he offered to wash my car for a smaller donation. I gave him $20 even though I was becoming suspicious. Stupid me.

He was very talkative and courteous, but then asked about my neighbors. I told him I couldn't help him with that. After he left, I then went to the internet and found similar experiences other people had with this group. I called the police to report the scam.
