Who are You?

Yesterday morning a very cheerful man came to my front door. He was driving a van which advertised Vertical Blinds; Security Doors and Windows and Flyscreens. When I opened the door he apologized for being late and asked me which room did I want the Blinds put in. I was stunned for a moment and said 'you have the wrong address, its not for me'. He then showed me an Invoice asking for a Quote, it had my Surname and Address on it which was intriguing as I had not asked for a Quote. There was also a name and mobile phone number on the Invoice which was neither my name or number.
He then sat outside in his Van for some time I guess trying to follow up on the request.
I think someone just gave him a name and address and a phony mobile phone number. Poor man he must have been rather bemused.

Let me offer an alternative. You've entered a world not of sight but of mind. The man who wants to give you a quote is actually casing the joint to see who is home, what kind of security you have and how easy it might be to rob you. This is the Twilight Zone Glennie! Don't answer the door!

These are gimmicks I see. There are those who just want to sense the place. Don't you have a peep hole before you open the door?

I think there is some truth in what AnjaP is saying.I think you should be careful as to whom you let inside your home.
