Fortunately we don't get door to door here....I live too far out! <br />It is worrying though...that people think the old and possibly infirm are OK to target!

Reaching 65 seems to spark something of a reaction from the world (how do they know??) who think that all of a sudden you're gullible and ready to sign up for anything. Glad to say, I say a firm NO to everything. If we need a new central heating system, it will be on the basis of a recommendation by a local supplier, which has been established locally for more than 25 years - I walk past their showroom almost daily.<br /><br />The other thing that I have been experiencing is perfectly fit (on the surface) young men turning up at the door with a flashy badge and a sales briefcase, saying that they're veterans, who are going door to door selling military style security products in aid of a particular service charity.<br /><br />When challenged as to where and with whom they served they get a bit confused about Regiments and Corps and places where British Forces have been at war in recent years. (badly briefed?). When I tell them that I am a recently retired Ex-Serviceman with 43 years service, they mysteriously suddenly have another appointment and need to go quickly.<br /><br />They're scammers and I've told local trading standards and the charities that they claim to be selling for, surprise, surprise, they've never heard of them.<br />UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.com
