If they give you a choice of numbers to press for example "Press 3 to get on their do not call list now" press no buttons at all just hang up.Never press any buttons on telemarket calls.
If sellspeople are coming at your door it is a scam even if they have company names sewn on their shirts. Remember, they are only looking out for their own interest and not yours and never sign any papers right on the spot and/or if they are in a hurry for you to make a phone call.Best bet lie, tell them you're already sign up on it.
If you get emails from unknown sources it's a scam. Click only the emails from companies or people you know personally.
The two mistakes sellspeople made at my door. First one was a man supposedly from an electric company that told me about windmills we have in town and that is how we save you big money. The thing is we have no windmills in town maybe a few on top of barns but no strings of them any where stretch along our roads.
Second one a man supposedly from my phone company he even has my phone company's name sewn on his shirt. His mistake? He asked me if I was sign up on "his" company's internet. See the mistake here? If he is actually was from my phone company they would already have known if I was signed up or not.
Phone companies do have computers inside their vans to check things out,but in this case I haven't seen any vans or cars in sight.I told him I'm satisfied with my cable internet. He said "okay" and left.
If they call you it's a scam.
If they email you it's a scam.
if they come to your door it's a scam.
Only sellspeople I trust coming at my door are the girlscotts selling cookies "Chocolate-mint cookies please" that's my only exception.
