Suspicious Door-To-Door Solicitors Reported in Neighborhood
Almost daily we have people going throughout our community soliciting for various products or services. Most of these solicitors are unlicensed and may or may not be legitimate. In a recent case a resident in the 2500 block of Winding Way reports that the below listed subjects were going door to door telling residents that they could help them save money on their PG&E bills. The subjects claimed that they are Latter-day Saints from Utah. They did not have any brochures, license or permit. This alert resident spoke to them through a locked screen door. She later went outside and observed the subjects in the below listed vehicle. The subjects, upon seeing another neighbor looking at them, immediately ducked down apparently hiding from that resident. This action aroused the resident’s suspicions. She reported this information to the Lincoln Police and to Neighborhood Watch. At this time there are no reported crimes committed by these subjects.
Subjects: Two white females, between 20 to 30 years old, both about 5′ 7″- 8″, One had brown shoulder length hair; the other had longer darker hair, possibly tinted.
Subject Vehicle: Red Tesla, No front license plate. Rear license plate California 9KUL853
Note: Never open your door to strangers, talk to them behind a secure locked door or from a side window. Once you open your door you lose that barrier of security.
Scams
There are numerous types of scams. Never share your personal details or send money to someone you don’t know. If you get a call from an unfamiliar number, it’s best not to answer. If the call is important, they’ll leave a message. If you’re unsure, reach out to a relative, friend, or neighbor for guidance.
One common scam involves a caller pretending to be a Lincoln Police Officer, claiming you owe money for a violation and must pay or face jail. Remember, Lincoln PD will never ask for payment over the phone.
Please report any suspicious encounters to the Lincoln Police non-emergency line at 916.645.4040 and be sure to file an incident report with Neighborhood Watch so our community stays informed.
