“Dear PoPville,
Kind of odd.
Last night (8:45pm) I got a knock on the door. When I looked out the window I saw someone with a yellow ADT vest on. When I opened the door the representative said, “because of the recent spike in crime in this neighborhood we’re doing a door to door offering of our services.”
Ironically he asked if he could come inside to discuss (are you kidding me) and when I said no he asked when a good time would be. (I can still hear him now going door to door with the same pitch.). I simply told him we weren’t interested.
He gave me his card with a name on it. By the looks of the card he seems legit but I for one am not comfortable with anyone asking if they can come in our home at this time of day to discuss home security AND I think it’s a little smarmy to target DC neighborhoods because of a perceived uptick in crime (especially if you’re from Fredericksburg VA).
Attached is the card I got. Legit or not, be safe.”
