Door to door comcast?

Hi

Is anyone aware of door to door sales reps from comcast in the area? I thought that you could only get comcast by ordering from the company.  A sales rep came by our house and said she could get us a better deal than the one offered on the comcast website....then she asked for my roommates's social security number.  Is this legit?   thank you...

We had someone claiming from Comcast do this at 9:30 on a rainy night a few months back. "I notice you have RCN as your cable provider..."

I stopped him before he could get any further. Since then, I've heard that around here, Comcast has done some legitimate door-to-door canvassing... which has attracted the attention of the scammers.

I really just hope there aren't many people around here who have been giving their SSN out to a random dude who just happened to knock on their door. Please let me cling to that hope. We're smarter than that, right?

Does either the city or the state have any regulation of what hours door-to-door salespeople are allowed to operate?

I haven't seen the Avon Lady or the Fuller Brush Man in a long time .
