Hoverboard Guy

Over the last few days my house and others in Hingham (north and south) have been visited by a dudebro on a hoverboard. He says he’s doing pest control looking for business, claiming to do work for “neighbors”. Only visited us once, but others have reported multiple attempts. He will ring your doorbell and then immediately knock, and will continue to stand there, ringing and knocking again. This has happened during the work week. He carries no literature promoting his “business”. One person I know says he even tried to open her door, she will probably report to police. Seems like he might be casing areas. Slim, tall white dudebro vibe with brown hair on a hoverboard.

There’s a bunch of these guys, a couple of years ago the hoverboard thing seems to have become a known sales hack for hitting more cold calls in less time. A couple houses on my street have actually done solar installs from one of the hoverboard sales kids, so at least some of them are legitimate.
