Dorothy White, PIO for the city of Garland has issued an alert. Imposters have been using what appears to be city identification badges. Residents who are approached by ANYONE representing themselves as cityemployees should ask to see ID.All city employees carry a photo ID AND will be driving a clearly marked city vehicle. If a resident needs to confirm someone with the water department, they should call the service center 972 205 3210.

These imposters are using this sham to gain access to resident homes and use high pressure techniques to sell water purification systems.

This scam operated a couple of years ago - and it you have any doubts , you can call 911 also as I would doubt that the person has the proper licence to door to door sales.

Please also drop an email to leelutz1@tx.rr.com so we can track any such activity in our neighborhood.
