A door to door salesman came to my home. He said he wasn't selling anything. He was doing a survey for his finance class at Portland State University. He asked me seven personal financial questions:
He thanked me and told me he was going to give me a $25 gift cert to a restaurant for helping him out.
He said PSU has had trouble in the past with interns running off with the cert so he would need to bring it back at a specific time.
He asked for my address, phone number and email address.
He then handed me a second piece of paper the mentions PSU but in big letters says "Federal Financial Group appointment reminder.
When you read the small print it says I have basically agreed to a 20 minute financial discussion.
I called BS and forced him to give me the two documents.
