APD Warns Residents of Scam Alert

Image

The Albuquerque Police Department (APD) is warning residents about a scam happening in various neighborhoods throughout Albuquerque. Individuals claiming to work for the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) are going door-to-door attempting to get residents to give out personal information and financial information and trying to get these residents to buy solar or pest control. Some of these individuals wear yellow work vests, carry clipboards and have phony badges with the PNM logo on them. APD reminds residents to always be aware of who knocks on your door and don’t open it to strangers, and to always speak to anyone at your door through the door or a doorbell camera. Residents can also confirm with PNM if these individuals actually work for the company. PNM has confirmed that they do not employ door-to-door salespeople.
