Holy crap, I didn't evne know this kind of thing went on x_X Well, I don't live in America, but damn, if the same thing had happened to me I probably would have bought the subscription and never even known T_T I can definitely understand your situaation.
But that's the thing about these kinds of people. They are preying on your sense of sympathy and judgement. There are GENUINE causes that will knock at your door asking for sponsorship or whatever, and you should try to keep an open mind, even if you are unsure. We get school kids doing fundraising events a lot where I live cause I'm literally around the corner from a primary school. We also have a lot of foreign people selling goods door to door. Some of them are legit, some aren't, so you really have to just use your best judgement >.< Even though it can be hard sometimes.
