This company knocks on your door at the most inconvenient time of the day - while you are enjoying a meal with your family who you haven't seen all day - only to pretend and come across as a gov't agency collecting water samples in your area. "We're here to collect a water sample from everyone in your area." They then shove a sample collection bottle in your face so quickly and in such a slick manner in order to distract you from thinking about who is really at your door and make you feel as if this is mandatory and that they are authority figures asking for this. Just like when the meter guy comes to read the water meter or something.
Then they proceed to steal your personal information from you while still pretending and playing the part of some gov't agency that seems genuinely concerned about your water quality and making sure you get the "lab" results from your area.
All of this just to sneakily gather your information for future solicitation of their expensive water processing products.
This should be illegal PERIOD. I wish I had had my camcorder on when these people hit my door because then they would be in real trouble. I would have sent this off to the local news in a heartbeat. This is Dateline NBC type of stuff here.
Don't do business with companies like these. These are the type of companies that deserve to be heavily fined by the state in order to stop these deceptive sales practices. They give legitimate solicitors a bad name and are partly the reason why less and less people open their doors or pick up their phones these days.
SHAMEFUL!!!
