Yet Another Door-to-Door Story

Morningside has reported a new angle on door-to-door sales technique and product. This concerns a slim b/m in his early twenties with lots of tattoos, stating he is an ex-gang member, and is now selling bottles of cleaning solution out of a red duffle bag. He also has a towel with him for cleaning demonstrations. The bottles are priced at $39.95 each – or buy two and get one free (what a deal!!). These reports have come from Northview Avenue, Wessyngton Road and Cumberland Road. You know the drill by now – either yell through your door telling him to leave/ ask to see his city permit (which I would doubt he has), and or/call 911 with a physical description and which way he is headed after leaving your home. This scam has been around a long, long time – I will have to admit I fell for this back in the 80’s and bought a bottle of this stuff, finding out later it was no more effective than a bottle of Windex. I would assume this is some sort of a pyramid scheme. Also remember that door-to-door solicitations are unlawful after 8 p.m.
