Anyone had this same experience?
Yes. It was a guy and he was a charmer. He worked our neighborhood a couple of weeks ago. We said our freezer was full and he offered to come in and rearrange it so we could fit more in. I then turned him down in a manner he understood. I followed him out and was surprised to find no vehicle in sight. I was looking for a registration number. I then called Neighborhood Watch and they were familiar with this scam and said they would send someone out.

Also, in the past few months, I have received a number of calls from the "Microsoft tech". I stay on long enough for them to know i am fully aware of their scam.
