So, if someone tries to sell you one of these items, there is no doubt: this is a false driver. You can spot it right away! And it is not the only clue that must put the chip in your ear …
Most cities and municipalities supervise canvassing at home, in particular by fixing permitted days and hours of visit. In general, sellers cannot go to your home until Monday to Friday, between 9 a.m. and 5.30 p.m., or even 6 p.m. depending on the municipalities. By having these time slots in mind, if a seller presents himself at home outside of these slots, beware, it can be as suspicious as the type of goods they are trying to sell.
