Come on, people. I really need to post this? Maybe I need to create a new category: Things That Make You Go Duh.
The Better Business Bureau has received a pattern of complaints against a company called Skyline Steak and Seafood and are warning consumers to do their homework whenever someone knocks on their door offering to sell them meat.
The BBB says you should follow these tipss:
- Avoid letting the person into your home.
- Ask the salesperson for written material about the company.
- Check to see if the company is licensed with the Department of Agriculture. The department can be reached at (303) 477-4220.
- Call the USDA’s Meat and Poultry Hotline at (888) 674-6854.
- Check the company’s BBB Reliability Report at www.denver.bbb.org.
But why even go that far? How about just politely closing the door? Just say no to door-to-door meat salesmen.
