Direct USA Selling Meat from Yellow Truck
Landstown Lakes
Between 4:00 P.M. and 4:28 P.M. a Caucasian man in a green shirt, cream-colored pants driving a bright yellow pick up truck pulled up to a person near their residence. The individual claimed he was selling discounted steaks and gave the impression he was talking on the cell phone at the same time. Individual also asked if anyone was at the resident’s home during the day.
Home resident noticed the website DirectUSA.com on a brochure the man was holding. A subsequent search of that site revealed an unrelated dormant website. Further search of Direct USA revealed numerous fraud complaints related to their products and practices.
Individuals are cautioned not to purchase any products from this company and are encouraged to call the police if they suspect fraud or feel threatened. Question to ask – Why would you by meat off the back of a truck?
Also, contact your city Attorney’s Office about this fraud.
Do not answer any questions asking if you are home during the day or personal questions about yourself. Actually, don’t answer any of their questions.

I am devastated>……>GOD WILL DEAL WITH THEM>>>..>>…hell on earth is better than ETERNITY IN HELL>
I feel so stupid as I sit here on hold with my bank as they check to see if these guys have deposited my check yet. Thank goodness no, and I am stopping payment. I will have some angry people I’m sure but it’s worth it after reading all of this. I never let them in the house and I’m glad about that. I still think I am going to call the police anyway.

Oh, I forgot to say that this happen to me in York County, so they are moving west.
As always, I am looking for a good deal and here it was at my door, I didn’t even have to leave my house and I was hungry too. After buying a case with a free box of fillets, the guy was so happy because now he had a chance to win a free fishing trip to the Keys. He even gave me a card and ask me to make the check out to him personally, so I did, After he left I thought that was weird that he had me make the check out to him so I looked the company up on line and oh my GOD you got to be kidding me, scam after scam I read about, one good thing is I told him not cash the check until Wednesday because there wont be any money in there until then, and I put a stop payment on the check that my wonderfull Wachovia charged me $30.00 to do. If he drops by the house on wednesday I will give him his steaks back, Thank God I have a big dog so maybe he will think twice about robbing me.
