Yesterday evening I had a weird experience.

Our doorbell rang and I was the one who answered.  A young guy was out there and when I walked out he said, “Whoa, you are the white Halle Berry.”  umm…OK

He was all about piling on the compliments and fluff.  Then he started his spill and told me no less than 25 times that he was from Chicago and saw dead people on a daily basis in his neighborhood.  Part of his line was that he was selling – 

So, the entire presentation was about this cleaning product.  And, he demoed and demoed and demoed.  Our garage door was open so he started getting things out of the garage (Chris’ golf shoes, Jordan’s old running shoes, many parts of my car) – he cleaned part of the driveway, doors, windows, a UT rock……..

Then he went on and on about all of our neighbors who have dropped $200, $500, $300……on these products.

He said that he has sold to Bill Gates, Ellen, Michael Jordan and many other celebrities.

I told him I needed to get my checkbook.  I did but I also took the flier to Chris who googled the product and found it on Amazon 

ADVANAGE 20X Multi-Purpose Cleaner

When Chris came out and asked him some questions the guy started spouting all kinds of things and his story started changing – kind of weird!

He said that Chris had questioned his integrity because he asked questions about the product.

It was overall a weird experience and when we went in I called across the street to our neighbors because the girl who was selling the same product was headed over and I wanted to warn them not to answer the door!!!

I bought 2 bottles (I’m a sucker to people with big stories!!) to use at our venue but after doing more research tonight I’m hoping I don’t regret writing a check to this company (T & B Sales).  

Ever been taken in by a scam?  Do you think these companies are legitimate?

Happy Wednesday!!!
