Door to door scam

I was approached by a young lady selling books so she could go to Europe with her school.  Wanting to help further education I purchased 6 books for @$60.00
i received 1  book then looked on the internet for a number where I could find out where the rest of my books were.
what I found was page after page of complaints
i called them and was told that I paid &47.95 for one book only and the rest was shipping and handling.  This was such a scam.  I hope I never come across that young lady. I will take her immediately to the police department. If your reading this SHAME ON YOU!!!
