Police - Unwanted Solicitation
The City of Hendersonville Police Department offers these tips:
- If you do not feel comfortable or do not want to answer the door, don't. Tell the solicitor you are not interested through the door.
- If you are unsure if a solicitor is legitimate, ask for identification verifying they are employed by the company they claim to work for. If they do not have any identification, do not give them any money and tell them to leave.
- If a solicitor refuses to leave or becomes irate, shut the door. If they still do not leave, call 911.
- Do not let someone "guilt" you into giving them money or buying their product.
- Do not believe stories such as "I live in your neighborhood" or "my car is broken down just around the corner".
- Never let anyone into your home.
