[LINK] New door to door solicitation

[Jan Whitaker]

Linkers,
I don't know if this will happen anywhere outside of Melbourne metro, 
but I had a guy stop at my door today saying he was doing a survey of 
home security. he asked a few questions, which I answered, then told 
me I'd be entered in a draw for a new computer system if I would give 
him my phone number (he had my address because he was standing at my 
door). I then said, no, I won't until you tell me what this company 
is. First he only would say it was a company in Mulgrave (I think). 
Then I pressed, and what does this company sell? Him: Waht do you 
want the to sell? (I kid you not, that's what he said!) I asked 
again, and he finally told me they do home security analysis and 
design with the latest and greatest high tech systems. Me: I'm not 
giving you my details. Him: then you can't enter in the draw, have a 
nice day, retrieves the entry paper, and finally leaves.

They are getting sneakier and sneakier..... The home alarm business 
must also be saturated.
