Possible scam / promoting Kirby
by Kate Freed 06 Mar '19

06 Mar '19

At 11:45am on Wed 3/6 we had a grey minivan pull up in front of our house and a young man knocked on the door offering samples of Tide and some dishwasher tablets - wanting to talk about cleaning products and selling Kirby vacuums. He said he was going through the neighborhood to offer free products. He didn’t offer any identification or flyer/information. I declined and thanked him and watched as he got into the back of minivan. There were two people in the front of the car. There didn’t seem to be boxes of products in the minivan (from what I could see) and the van pulled away and drove off (not going door to door to other houses). The activity seemed very suspicious. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Thanks, Kate Kate Freed kmfreed(a)gmail.com
