Please be aware of malicious door-to-door sales‼

There are many cases in which words are sold skillfully and billed high.
There is a risk that you may be contracted at unnecessary places or exorbitant prices, so even if you are forcibly recommended, refuse "quest the fire department" or "consult with your family" and do not contract on the spot.
