My dgs was with me for the weekend and my doorbell rang (Saturday afternoon). We went to the door and a man was there with a notebook. He said he was from Cablevision and wanted to then he mumbled something I didn't understand. So, in my normal "attitude" I said "are you selling something?" and he continued to mumble. (was he hoping I opened the door at that point?) I said that this is a condo and there is no soliciting here. Go away!" and I closed the door.
My dgs who was standing beside me said geesh, Gramma, you were rude. So I said he doesn't belong here and I don't want him coming back! I picked up the phone to talk to the police. The officer told me they had another complaint about this. Asked me what he looked like and verified the address. He had a blue hat on. In the meantime Peter googled cablevision door to door sales and a notice came up that said they have no door to door business and these people were fraud.
At that point, Peter and I went out to let the neighbors know. We told quite a few as it was a Sat pm and many were coming and going. One neighbor told Peter that 2 came to their place and gave them a pamphlet with a name and number on it. Later in the day I took it to the Police station...he took the pamphlet and said he'd follow it up. who knows...keep your storm door locked when you are home and don't let strangers in!!!:nah:
