In today’s society, with scammers on the rise, door knocking and telesales should be outlawed. If you want to promote your legitimate business do a leaflet/letterbox drop. This gives people the opportunity to investigate your credentials prior to doing business. The result? Less individuals getting scammed!
Don't get caught with phone calls eithrr
 
No one knocks on our door, our house is half a kilometer from the gate and we have dogs although the dogs wouldn't bite anybody but they are big dogs and would bark that would put anybody off coming into the yard
 
I never unlock or open the security door for anyone but delivery people, who have a parcel with them. Hubby just points to the street and says OUT very loudly to any sales people, people claiming to be charity collectors etc, they usually get the message and scamper off our property.
 
Good Grief we are not even safe in our own homes from these unscrupulous scammers! Wherever do they get the gall to carry on like this ripping off kind-hearted citizens.
It is very simple. You ask any doorknocker for the name of the charity, then you say I will call them and make a donation online.... thank you
Then close the door.
