Issaquah Police have issued a citizen’s alert to all residents regarding aggressive door-to-door alarm sales representatives who have been misrepresenting who they are and which products they are selling. They target senior citizens and use high-pressure tactics in an effort to confuse people into signing a new contract.

The City of Issaquah website states, “This has become a nationwide problem, as thousands of consumer fraud complaints…have been filed with the Better Business Bureau.”

If a sales person knocks at your door, keep in mind that legitimate companies will generally not show up without a scheduled appointment and a representative should always be able to produce appropriate identification. If you have doubts about the person’s legitimacy, contact your alarm company.

If you request that the representative leave and he or she refuses, please contact the Issaquah Police Department.
