Candis? Salesman barged into my property.

Had never heard of this company, but after what just happened i'm glad I hadn't. I was unpacking shopping in my bedroom, when all of a sudden a man came to my window, looked straight in then beckoned me to let him in whilst jumping up and down. I went to the intercom and asked what he wanted, he said he had something for me. I then let him in and he came to my door, I told him I wasn't interested in any subscriptions, but he demanded to speak to my partner, I said no, and he continued to ask to get her to the door. As I held the door open for her, he walked in and then somehow ended up in the middle of my living room and stated it was fine and he was working alongside the police. After speaking for about 5 minutes and ignoring me telling him we wasn't interested countless times, he continued to try and push us to sign up to this magazine. After him continuing to ignore me, I told him to get out of my property, he then stated he'd go find somebody else in an angry tone and stormed out of my apartment. He then knocked on others doors and ignored them saying no, I eventually had to ring the apartment caretaker to remove him from the block, but he then vanished. Absolutely disgusting behaviour from a representative of this 'company'. I'll definetly be letting others know of my experience with this, as i'm appauled.

Anybody else had dealing with them? Are they a real company?

    Candis is a real company, they sell a monthly mag by subscription & the funds help charities, but their reps should not be behaving like this, that's if this man even was a real Candis seller. I'd google Candis to find a number to report it and I'd call the police non-emergency number too, in case this guy is a chancer & not a real salesperson.
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.
