The trick is to say anything to get you to stop, then say anything to shove their merchandise into your car, at which point it becomes very hard to refuse to buy. This results in very good cover stories. I read up on them after being taken in a while back. It's a sometimes elegant con, with all sorts of variations, and the best defense is to ignore them and keep driving. I'm just glad they didn't take me for much, though not for lack of effort.
