Solicitors:
You can prevent this from happening by:
· Asking to see a solicitor’s permit issued by Your City or County. Some of these guys are smart and have bogus permits made up on a computer.
· Ask to see some identification. Most these guys never have identification to match the names on their company paperwork or receipt books.
· If the person is rude or overly aggressive call us immediately! This is a definite sign of a scammer.
· If you have young children at home after school, teach them to NEVER open the door for a solicitor. You would think that the kids should already know this but you’d be shocked at how often it happens.
· When you call us, try to make note of what the person was wearing, what they looked like, and what direction they went off to after leaving your house.
