Actually, no, it's not a scam. It's simply a misunderstood method of determining how fast a door-to-door solicitor can sprint with their eyes closed screaming for mercy.
See, there is going to be a new event in the Track And Field portion of the Olympics, and it's called the "OHMYGOODNESS" dash. What you don't see is the timer guy hiding behind the tree. Often, he can't get the timer working because he's laughing so hard.
But it's all right. It's another Olympic Medal chance for someone, and that's all good...isn't it?
