What Would You Do If Two Young Men Knocked On Your Door & Told You They Had A Way To Save You Money On Your Electric Bill But Weren’t Selling Anything

I didn’t even open the glass storm door. When they said they weren’t selling anything it was a red flag. Like the scam callers who offer to refinance your credit cards for zero percent interest rates

. I told them I wasn’t interested and they kept talking. Told them to leave and closed the door. At that point I wouldn’t have trusted them to let them enter my home. No telling what they were up to. I hate to be rude but can’t trust everyone and I was home alone.

I have a "No Soliciting" placard on my door. The door is never answered unless I know them or there is an appointment.

I almost shot a bogus utility person. "No ID? No company vehicle? You don't understand GO AWAY?"

@Crazywaterspring The electric company will send warnings sometimes with the bills telling us that their workers will always drive a vehicle with the company’s name on the side, wear a uniform with a photo
ID and will wait if we want to call for. Verification. And they will never ask to be allowed to enter the home
