I had the same thing happen with guys delivering mulch years ago.
When they asked for more than the original estimate and I said I wouldn't pay more, they stared
me down and said, "It's not like we don't know where you live." It was crappy mulch, too.

They also can take note of such things as: what kind of a car you
drive so they know if you're home or not, bicycles, other cars, tools,
mowers, if you have a dog or not, other items convertible to cash.

Doing business with people who solicit door to door is dangerous stuff.

Mindless paranoia.

You can make the same utterly mindless claim about those who do
work at your house, or who deliver stuff, including the post monkeys.

You don't get out a lot, do you?

Never ever could bull**** its way out of a wet paper bag.

Lots and lots of rapes, murders, burglaries, and other things committed by people posing as
someone they're not.

Yes, but its just not feasible to never ever let anyone anywhere
near your house just in case its one of those. And **** all of
those you mention above are spraying scammers or even just
door to door sales fools anyway. Too easy to identify those.

Facts, not mindless paranoia.

Your claim that you should ensure that no one can get anywhere
near your house is just completely mindless paranoia.

If you can't read the newspapers, there's local TV news each evening at around six. Don't own a
TV? Well, I guess you are going to have to splurge $10 on a cheap AM radio. They have news on
the hour every hour.

And those report **** all spraying scammers doing anything more than con the stupid, stupid.
