Door to door comcast?

[pakoo.livejournal.com]

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...

The door to door people are creepy as can be. A little while ago, at night, some guy came and poked around the back and the side of the house until he determined that we had RCN connections and then knocked on the door to confront us about using a different service and blah, blah, blah, how much he could save us. I informed him that both myself and our duplex neighbor had Comcast and shooed him on his way.

They've supposedly been by my house again recently, but my roommate answered the door while I wasn't home and couldn't give them any of the information they wanted - I hope they weren't asking for my social.

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 .

8:00 pm

so yes there is a legal time it is 8pm and no later so if the come showing up any later than that then tell them to leave i work for comcast as a door to door salesperson and we are not allowed to knock past 8!
