Neighborhood Watch- Door to Door Salesmen

This week a person representing himself as a magazine subscription salesman was working his way down Park Ave. He said that the sales would benefit organizations in the area such as Boys Town. Although this man was very well spoken, he was also very aggressive and attempted to talk people into spending large sums of money on these subscriptions, in one case as much as $450. On Tuesday evening, Channel 5 in Omaha did a story about this group, but said these salesmen were blanketing the Omaha area. Apparently, they are also in Council Bluffs. The company they represent has an “F” rating with the Better Business Bureau. The Omaha Police Department recommended that people call the police if they are approached by any of these salesmen. This is good advice however we urge you to call and register a complaint to the City Clerk at 712-328-4616. The clerk will contact the person who took out the sellers permit.
