(HURON COUNTY, ON) – Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is once again reminding the public to be very cautious with door to door salespeople. Yesterday afternoon Huron OPP officers in Exeter were notified of two sales agents going door to door in the Exeter area attempting to sell water purification systems.
The pushy salesmen wanted the homeowner to replace his current water purification system and upgrade to a newer version under a 25 year contract for the price of $8,000.
The homeowner declined the offer and after they left he contacted the company to complain about their sales tactics. Interestingly, he learned the salesperson was no longer employed by the company and was using the company brochures in an attempt to scam unsuspecting customers.
This homeowner did the right thing and protected himself from becoming a victim.
