Sheeeesh, criminals will use almost any tactic to suck in their next victim

We've had some instances here lately where elderly people are being targeted. I think the paper called them gypsy type people who pose as public workers (electric, phone, cable, etc..). They come up to someone's door saying that they are investigating a reported problem near the individual's home by a neighbor. In most cases, they drive a white van with a graphic on it further supporting their claim that they work for said company. When they get inside the home, someone swipes valuables while their accomplice distracts the home owner. A few of the elderly victims have been physically harmed in some way as well

Imagine my alarm when two installers showed up yesterday to do my satellite installation
Everything turned out okay of course, but I was watching them like a hawk !!!!
