The Lumpkin County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) is warning area residents of a scam going around involving door-to-door methods.
According to the department, there is an individual going door-to-door pretending to be with DirecTV.
“Please be aware that legitimate representatives will always have proper identification and rarely make unannounced visits,” the department said in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
They advise residents to not share personal information at the door, ask for official identification, and if it feels suspicious to not open the door and report it immediately.
Residents can call LCSO’s non-emergency line at (706) 864-3633 to report suspicious activity.
