Tips for avoiding scams
In case of doubt, it is recommended to ask for the professional card of the person coming to canvass.
In addition, even if the pressure can sometimes be strong, it is preferable to take the time to think before signing an order, in particular to compare several quotes.
Note that there is a period of fourteen days to cancel an order.
This caution must be exercised in the event of door-to-door sales but also by telephone.
