door to door scam
A woman came to my door and said she wanted to do an air quality test "just like the one Mike Holmes does". I think the ocmpan y was Green Air.
the first thing that came to my mind was BS. When I saw how she ran the test by having an enclosed fan suck air over a peitri dish I thought scam! She had me sign something saying they could contact me about the results, big scam! But being a curious fellow.....as requested I left the dish upstairs for a couple of weeks and received a phone call one night at 7pm...."hey we are in the neighborhood and want to come buy to see the dish". I said sure but I was really busy.
Instead of a woman coming buy a guy came by:
scum: "is your wife home too?"
me: "she is but she is busy with the kid"
scum: "I need to talk to both of you so I will come back later"
me: "I am here now and available my wife is usually busy withe kid"
scum: "I need to talk to both of you" in a more forceful voice.
me: "no you don't need to talk to my wife, I am here"
scum: even more forcefully "yes I do! It is the regulation" (WTF?)
me: "here is your peitri dish. Don't come back"...in a tone that made sure he got the message.
So this POS gets buy one naive people that can be bullied into a product that is a scam.
The test was bogus (university Biology here) and the guy was a scum (hey I used to be a nice salesman among sharks).
So if you see a peitri dish sitting at someones house and are concerned....be concerned.
