Beware of Soliciting Workers
On February 14, 2012, one of our neighbors was a victim of two local gypsies. Fortunately, she wasn’t hurt, her story is below. Although we are fortunate to have a relatively low crime rate in our area, we must remember to always be vigilant. Know your neighbors. If something doesn’t seem right, call 911. If somebody knocks on your door you do not know, DO NOT LET THEM IN.
Follow these tips from the Fort Lauderdale police:
- Ask for Identification, the name of their company and who their supervisor is.
- Look up the number of the company, DO NOT use any number that the man or woman may provide.
- When you discover that there is no such company or the company denied knowledge: CALL THE POLICE.
