Hey look! I found David’s neighbor!
I know you’re frustrated, and this was just blowing off some steam. But seriously, get out of the business. You’re making the rest of us look bad, and you’re obviously not making it anyway.

Thats when you email back and say that you can’t come in to get a price quote on privacy concerns. Once they have seen your face they know who you are and can leverage that information to their advantage and that you aren’t falling for their ruse.
