I heard a rather shocking news from my sister just now, and I really want to blog about it.
We had lunch when my sister told us that yesterday she didnt stay at my grandma's house because there was a strange fella trying to sell stuff to her.
I was fast asleep last night, because suddenly feeling feverish. So she told me that last night our maid opened the door for a stranger. Luckily my sister intervened. So she asked him what he wanted.
The guy wanted to sell some water treatment product. My sister was not interested so she declined to buy anything. The guy kept on trying to coax her so that he can do a demo inside.
It was 8 at night, and of all day, it was saturday. Either that guy is a very dedicated salesman, or he's a trouble. I vote for the later.
Then my sister lied to him saying that we've already purchased a water treatment. He asked what brand, and my sister replied Amway.
Not giving up, he tried to sell vacuum cleaner which not only can vacuum but also clean the carpet with soap. My sister replied we had the vacuum cleaner and its no longer working.
And then he tried to sell sewing machine Man IF I was there instead of my sister I would laughed at him... sewing machine????
So the man went away after failing to coax my sister to allow him to be in the house.
My sister noted that he wasn't really looking at my sister but his eyes were wandering and lurking inside the house. So obviously he's a scammer.
It's pretty shocking and we ought to be careful all the time. Eventhough we feel that it is safe to be home, we still need to be vigilant. We never know who might be watching us, trying to see who is home who is not. We might not even aware that they are actually close to us.
Have a look at this website and learn from it:

Scammers or con artists always tried to find the gap that he can infiltrate. I think the reason why they are called con artists are because they can think creative way to trick people.
I only have one advise to all:
Always ensure that you are safe, even if you are at the safest place on earth, always be safe!
