Subject: FW: criminal contractor knocking on doors on [redacted]

I just wanted to alert you to the fact that a man named [redacted] was knocking on doors in our neighborhood on [redacted]. It was a few weeks ago, about a week after the big storm. He tried to talk us into getting a new roof for our home. He pressured us to sign papers for a loan, which we did not do. [redacted]

I thought you might want to know. He keeps calling our house and we don't answer. I'm worried some people in Lakewood may be taken in by his swindle.

Another scam at work. All contractors working in Lakewood Must be licensed and have the license with them. Please be sure you don't leave Christmas purchase in your car overnight.

I own the home at [redacted]. My renters contacted me today to say that an exterminator came by and wanted to be let in, saying that I had hired him. I have certainly not hired an exterminator, and would have let them know if any service people needed access to their unit. Luckily, they said they were not aware of me calling an exterminator, and did not let him in.

I wanted you to be aware as I am not sure if this is someone who was specifically watching my house, or an ongoing scam in the neighborhood.

Subject: another BOLO

Last week a [redacted] resident was eating breakfast when a "Large white Ford Super Duty truck with no markings" pulled into his driveway. one man got out of the truck and seemed to be inspecting the front of the house. When confronted by the resident, the man claimed that the resident "Needed new gutters". The homeowner sent them on their way. Please keep an eye out for this truck. They may be casing homes. Call the police if you see them on your street.
