They wanted to scan my utility bill to see if they could save me money.
Just say no thanks and close the door. Please let your neighbors know too.
When I heard the report on a radio station, they said they were posing as cops and once they got in, they robbed the owners of cash & jewelry, knocked them around some and left. Who knows what story is correct but, no matter what, we're in a different world today so stay on guard and DON'T open the door unless you know the people. 2 against 1 or 2 is very dangerous. The inly fault we have is that we were raised in different times and raised to be nice and have manners even with strangers. (not a bad upbringing at all but....)
