My business was recently visited by suspicious people. There werethree guys in a truck, slightly dark skinned. I and my guy were nearthe open overhead door. They stopped by and asked if I am selling the building. I saidno. Then they handed me a business card and said that they were in aroofing business. The card included a website URL, which, as I laterlearned, was not even in the WHOIS database, so it was totally bogus. They they saw stuff inside and asked what I do, I said sellingindustrial equipment. Wow, they said, we need some equipment, "we haveCNC". Hm, I thought, roofers have CNC? I said no, right now I cannotadmit anyone. Then they asked if my truck was for sale and whetherthey can rent space in my huge front parking lot.At this point I was pretty aware that this is a suspicious situation,they look like Gypsies, have a Gypsy accent, and act like Gypsies too,trying to get the foot in the door, so I gently suggested that theyseek business elsewhere.I was wondering if this is a unique experience or someone else hasseen that sort of thing. thanksi
