  Aren’t door-to-door solicitations illegal in CDA? Green River?

  Once. The Readers Digest never came. Until I called and they gave me a year’s subscription.

  Got swindled on a S-R subscription too. Guess he was a former employee of the S-R and he talked me into a subscription at a decent price. I got suspicious at a couple of his closing comments and how he handled the payment. So I called and they recognized who he was and gave me the subscription.

  I should add that now I quickly and politely tell them no thanks. Pretty much anybody that comes by gets the same answer.

  Don’t waste their time or mine.

  ooh, boy, do I have a story about door to door magazine salesmen.
  We had one visit us. My husband was probably less than polite to them.
  we began receiving a couple of magazines we had never ordered addressed to hokey sounding made up names (“Rich Dix” …get it… was one…don’t remember the other). We finally figured out it was the magazine person because we also kept getting bills for these magazines we didn’t order.
  It escalated to the point that we had to get an attorney to send them a cease and desist.

  I had one stop by this weekend offering free home security equipment. When I asked for a business card or brochure he said he didn’t have any. I said no thanks.
