We are once again experiencing door-to-door salesmen violating our “no soliciting” signs posted at each entrance to our association. Most recently, we’ve seen salespeople saying they represent Dish One and wanting to upgrade your TV service. These people seem to wear a dark gray polo shirt with a white logo of a kangaroo. If you are approached by any salesman, just shut the door and call 911 to report a door-to-door salesperson trespassing on our private streets in violation of our “no soliciting” signs. Then call Joe Steiner (529-2733) or Guy Scharf (305-1472) and tell us about the incident.
If you talk to such a person, they’ll tell you that the “no soliciting” sign doesn’t have the ARS citation, or their management said it was ok, or that our “HOA management” has given them permission to solicit, or some other story. None of this is true and they are trespassing on private property. As we learned at the Neighborhood Watch Meeting in March, you do not have to politely disengage from the conversation; simply close the door and never let them inside your home. Then call 911 and have the salesperson removed from SMVE HOA property.
