strange solicitation

I have no idea if its legit and found it to be rather odd..

some college kid rings my bell selling kids books , only carrying receipts to fill out if I want to order and saying how he gains points towards school..he says he gets dropped off to meet 10 people a day in all different neighborhoods..

anyone else hear of such a thing or had this happen to you?

i turned him away of course- I guess to me a little scary since I'm the only one on my block so far..Chat Icon

Re: strange solicitaion

I've gotten those before. Their stuff is usually WAY overpriced, but they are typically harmless. I don't really answer the door now though for people I don't know.

That's really strange... I had a kid knock on my door about magazines a few months back with only receipts in hand. Chat Icon
