Someone stopped me in my driveway a few months ago while was unloading groceries from my car. He said he was from Comcast (our local cable company) & walked toward my front door (I had my arm around grocery bags and my housekeys keys in my other hand).

He asked if I was a current subscriber to Comcast, and I made a joke. All I said was "if you're FROM Comcast, wouldn't you know if I HAD Comcast?" I was kidding, making small-talk. I didnt think for a second that he wasn't legit.

But he looked at me, looked around and backed up and walked back down the driveway and down the street.

I went inside the house and called Comcast and asked about door-to-door salespeople in my neighbrohood and they said they didn't have any scheduled & to call the police immediately.

I did... not sure if they got him.

Taught me to be a little bit less trusting of people.
