Amen. I am always saddened by the number of people who don't follow that rule and get ripped off. My neighbor is a college educated man who knew better. We saw him stacking tree limps and cleaning up his front yard after having a company trim his tree. He said, "Don't ask."
They had finished the job and just needed to clean up the remainder of the limbs and asked if they could come back in the morning. He said he knew better, but thought it would be okay since they had already picked up a great deal of the mess and "seemed honest." Since it was a Friday afternoon he went ahead and paid them. They never came back.
