Here are some tips to help you avoid getting scammed by door-to-door salesmen:
1. Ask for identification: Legitimate salespeople will have a solicitors badge from FPD. Make sure they show you that identification before discussing their product.
2. Do your research: Before making a purchase or signing a contract, research the company and its product online.
3. Don’t feel pressured: Scammers often use high-pressure tactics to get you to make a quick decision. If you feel uncomfortable or rushed, it’s okay to end the conversation and ask them to leave.
4. Never give out personal information: Be cautious of salespeople who ask for personal information such as your social security number or bank account information. Legitimate salespeople will not need this information to sell you a product or service.
5. Trust your instincts: If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
