When we moved, a year ago - same thing. She came and arranged an appt (said she was TV Welcome Lady)... As it turned out it was for an in-home presentation for Pegasus water system. Not quite a scam, but close. Listened to the guy for an hour, he tested the water -- ours turned brown and yucky... I asked him to do the same test with bottled water we had - he relunctantly did - IT turned same brown. I KNEW It!!! His answer, "Ther are no federal standards on bottled water. OMG... He then offered the system for $3500.00... OMG - declined of course. He called the owner of Pegasus before leaving, we overheard the conv - He yelled out "How about $3 Thousand? As he was leaving I said - What about the restaurant card? He shyly handed it to us. Warning.

We eventually got a nice water softener from Home Depot, water tested - just great.
