That's certainly possible, but I didn't take it as an act.

I'd think that if he was in on the scam he'd have a story ready, oh, I already gave the money to my manager, you'll have to call the company and file for a refund...or something like that.

While I'm not against door to door activity having these less than savory people let lose in my neighborhood doesn't exactly make me happy.
