My ma-in-law had one of these guys cold calling yesterday and despite her saying a definite no as she wouldn't live long enough to reap the benefits (She's in her 88th year!), the guy persuaded her to let him return this morning and "measure evry room in the house".
Luckily she is still astute enough to ring and tell us. She had decided to stick a note on the door saying she's gone out but clearly he'd just come back so my wife has gone over to "sort him out". I feel sorry for the guy as she'll tear strips off him, take his photograph and report him to the police
She's furious anyway as she's being forced to make a 50 mile round trip and change her plans for today.
Ma is clearly pannicked as she's been worrying all night and rang us again at 7 am to make sure my wife is still going to be there
Some of these con men really are barstewards ! She lives in a small close of around 20 small retirement bungalows in an affluent area. I doubt if any resident is under 70 and almost all are widows in their 80s only so easy meat to someone selling products for which they'll likely never re-coupe their purchase price.:nonono:
