Beware free shit

submitted by PeckerwoodPerry to whatever 1.5 yearsDec 13, 2022 13:15:31 ago (+32/-0)     (whatever)

Just had a college kid ring on my door. He was offering me a free doorbell camera, and all I had to do was let him put his company's signs up in the yard.

I don't know about y'all, but that's suspicious as fuck to me. I've never even heard of the company.

That's how your surveillance detail introduces himself. Watch your back.

Nothing is free.

This is a relatively well establish marketing technique. A company offers to provide some service -- in this case it's a security system of a sort -- in exchange for sign placement and, hopefully, referrals to all of your neighbors. In the least they can go around and use your installation as leverage to sell more.

You would get the the bare minimum of features, of course, and would no doubt be encouraged to upgrade them in the near future.

Most security systems are sold at near cost, because it's the monitoring service that makes money. Their cost on that doorbell cam is going to be below $100 installed, so this is cheap advertising for them.

I had a nigger knock on my door asking to do the same shit. Told him we already have most of the tools 'they' are offering. Scoping out the neighborhood no doubt

Nope, just politely told him to fuck all the way off. It's not worth getting paranoid over. I can handle whatever might be going on.

Ever heard of zyklon b? Only kills jews. Very handy tool that does discriminate.

I'd be more concerned about someone wanting to install cameras on my house.

Considering you're a pedophile, I'm sure you would be.

They might catch your lies so that is a no-go.

When shit like that happens I send myself an e-mail with all the information I have to document it just in case.

Then you confirm it's validity because you're probably not honest even with yourself.

Hope you asked a bunch of the right questions before saying 'no'.

They wouldn't be truthful. Perhaps you should put your two weeks in at Safeway and apply

You said you would not post the picture of the naked little girls here. You admitted that you did say you wouldn't but "changed your mind".

I asked you if you would post that here. You said no. We aren't going to argue semantics here. You aren't to be trusted and are a liar. I'm not like dangus, I don't cry to the admins and accuse people of things with flood posts.

However I am obligated to inform you that you made a very serious mistake. Take that however you wish to, it does not matter to me.
