At some point, you have to trust what is going on. Or not.
There is a lot of hand wringing and paranoia.
If you don’t want to answer your door and talk to strangers…then don’t.
I remember being a door to door salesman in 1982. I loved these days. It wasn’t too hot and people were outside a lot. It made my job a lot easier and more pleasant. If someone did not want what I was selling…that was fine. I just moved on to the next door. It was a numbers game. Getting into arguments with folks simply took time away from me.
RE: have to trust or not.
I will not.
Many, many stories like this. These are two from my state.
