It's that time of year when you will be getting pressured by
aggressive door to door salespeople. They will be pushing you
to sign you up to "limited time offers" that expire "right away" (because they do not have a local office). And
before you know you know it you're on the hook for thousands of dollars.
Several alarm companies only have SUMMER PROGRAMS. They rent houses and hire
large crews of university students which are offered large commissions ($400
to $500 per contract) to get you to sign up.
LEARN MORE by Googling "door to door alarm scam".
The Pressure:
- Sales person won't
leave even when you tell them to "Leave"
- Sales person won't
leave when you tell them "No Thanks"
- Sales person won't
leave when you say "I Already Have Your Products or Service"
- Sales person name
drops the name of your neighbor and makes it sound like "they signed
up" or "they bought one" or "they referred me to you"
- Sales person comes to
the house several times and won't leave you alone
· The Solutions:
- Put Up Your Hand and "Say
NO".
- Immediately close the door and the sales person will
eventually leave.
Tell them "You
are Trespassing" and that you are calling the BBB Better Business
Bureau, Consumer Protection Branch and the Police if they do not leave. - BBB 1-888-352-7601, Consumer Protection 1-877-880-5550, Saskatoon Police 306-975-8300, RCMP (Saskatoon) 306-975-5173 or call your Local Detachment
- Always Get 3 Quotes
for whatever you consider purchasing. This gives you the time to gather
information and to check if the "deal" being presented to you is the
best option.
- Never Accept Quick
Delivery of a product or service. This gives you a cooling off period and
more time to gather facts.
- If you did proceed with the offer You Have 10 Days to Change Your Mind and CANCEL (and get a full
refund). It's the Law in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
