I read a "rip-off" report by a user named "Shell" out of Flora Home, FL. Her experience was very similar to mine that I had this past weekend.
A young man came to my door telling me that they had just "opened" a new "cleaning supplies" store and told me the location. He stated that they were in our neighborhood to demo a new cleaning agent and that I could get one room with carpet shampooed free" and it would only take approximately 20 mins.
I was willing to allow that since my carpet in my den could use a cleaning. He put my name on a list and said that there would be another person coming to do the work shortly and he left.
About 10 - 15 mins. Later, another young man came to the door with this huge Kirby box and proceeded to carry on with his "demo".
My carpet was never shampooed... Only a small 5' x 6' area was thoroughly vacuumed. This young man was actually very nice and polite. But, still a salesman. He definitely wanted to sell me this vacuum system and offered it for a "discounted price" of $999.99. I told him #1 with the way the economy was at this time that I would not make such a purchase and #2 that I do not need a vaccum cleaner... AND that he does know that he was actually in my home under false pretenses.
He still was very polite and actually embarrassed at my last statement.
He called his "ride" to come pick him up which showed up about 20 mins. Later in a van. I read several posts on here about this type of expierence in regards to the sales side and customer side.
This is a very devious plan to get in your home... BEWARE!!! Also, I went to the location where I was told the "new cleaning supplies store" was located and... Nowhere to be found!!!
