Good point. I assumed it was legit since the other business is relocating. THat was a logic error on my part. The suspicious part is what has been going on(or seem to have been going on) in this neighborhood the last 5 years. I think my best course of action is to ignore the request for a face to face meeting. I don’t see how it could hurt me to do so.
You wouldn’t even have to acknowledge that you received a phone call.
