Attorney General Patrick Morrisey is warning West
Virginians to be cautious when buying products from door-to-door
salesmen.
Morrisey says his office recently
received complaints about salesmen going to homes and selling cleaning
products.
The salesmen used "high-pressure
sales tactics and were persistent about entering the residents' homes."
Morrisey says consumers should beware
of scammers by taking down information about the salesmen and the company they
represent and contact the company to verify the salesmen and the products.
Consumers also are urged not to pay
cash up front and not to make any payments until the product is delivered.
Morrisey also says not to let the
sellers into homes.
As a consumer, you can verify the
company's details or report a possible scam by calling the Consumer Protection Division
at 1-800-368-8808.
