We haven’t had utility scammers, but our condos do have “No Soliciting” signs on every door. As far as I can tell, the principal effect of these signs is to alert salespeople and proselytizers that they should think of a reason it does not apply to them when I point it out. Pretty much everyone feels the notice doesn’t _really_ mean _they_ can’t make their pitch.
