The Town of Perth is warning residents after receiving reports of people going door-to-door claiming they are authorized by the municipality while discussing cable or internet services.
Town officials say they have not endorsed or approved any such sales activity and are urging the public to be cautious when approached by unsolicited visitors.
Residents are advised to ask for identification and independently verify any claims before sharing information or agreeing to services. Officials stress that legitimate representatives should be able to provide clear credentials.
Anyone who feels uncomfortable or pressured is under no obligation to continue the conversation and may simply decline and close the door.
Municipal leaders say scams often rely on confusion and urgency, especially when fraudsters falsely claim official backing.
Residents with concerns are encouraged to contact the Town of Perth directly to confirm whether any programs or representatives have been authorized.
