I get people like this at my business too.Wanna find
out how legit they are??
Ask them if they have a "sellers permit/license"
If they dont,and the person seems nervous,tell him u
are required to call your attorney general's
office,and find out if his business is on their s**t
list..
I did this with a high pressure meat salesman.As soon
as i went into the "attorney general" part,the guy ran
out the door...
