Scammers are always looking for new ways to gain access to your personal information or to trick you out of your money. A recent scam involves people coming to your door posing as IRS agents. Another involves individuals going through neighborhoods selling driveway sealing services, that are substandard, at best, and likely no more than paint.
Remember every door-to-door solicitor in Bowie must be licensed and must carry and display proof of that license. Report violators to the City’s Code Compliance Office at 301-809-3008. Trust your instincts. If something does not look right or does not sound right, close the door, hang up, or otherwise disengage. Ask someone you trust, such as friend or family member, before parting with your money or signing a contract.
