Just a little public service announcement about magazine solicitors. I live in SoCal where the weather is decent at the moment, so all the door-knock scammers are out and about.

My RM is a serial accomodater; he can't say no to those people. So, last night, he got suckered into $160 worth of magazines by some guys from a company called Love Technologies Inc, out of Golden, Colorado.

Here is a Complaint Board page on them. http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/love-technologies-inc-ftft-american-cash-awards-c133331.html

Remember: Unless you have more money than Quatre Winner and don't care where it goes, just SAY NO to any of these people. The RM is hoping to catch his checks in time to stop them, but it'll cost him for stopping the checks. And he'll probably be in for months of threats from the scammers.

If you don't know, *personally*, the person peddling the whatever-it-is (like niece/nephew/cousin/neighbor), release the hounds. >_< That is all.

I have a standing policy anymore, and I've finally gotten to the point where I can actually say it to them and mean it.
'I'm sorry; we don't buy from door to door salesmen or from phone solicitors.' Period. End of discussion.
It kind of lets me to the 'what you gonna do?' attitude, like it's some rule and I don't have any choice. Makes me NOT feel like the bad guy. >_>

That's good! O.O I should post that on the front door and train him to recite it. ^____^ Right now, the plan is that only I answer the door. Heh heh heh.

Uh... leave them enough bady parts to crawl away! O.O

Nah... I'll just hose them down to the storm drain. ^___^
