Representatives of a Texas based company, Aquafuzion, conducted door-to-door sales in Finesilver Ranch Thursday evening, 9 April. According to one resident, sales people attempted to gain trust by stating the company was visiting the neighborhood in coordination with SAWS, the San Antonio Water System. Allegedly, SAWS had received several complaints and requested Aquafuzion test water quality on their behalf.
The resident doubted the veracity of the sales person and requested to speak with a manager. Contact with Aquafuzion's San Antonio office confirmed the company has no relationship with SAWS. At the urging of the resident, the sales crew leader collected the team of about four sales people who had deployed throughout FSR and departed the neighborhood in a silver, late model Jeep, possibly a Cherokee, TX plate, GPZ 728.
A report was filed with SAPD and, following the advice of the responding officer, the resident intends to file a complaint against Aquafuzion with the Attorney General.
Using experience as a guide, the solicitation team may return to FSR for two or three days consecutively to ensure total market saturation. Residents should refrain from engaging with door-to-door sales representatives. See this post for information detailing previous FSR soliciting incidents.
According to SAWS, customers are "urged to be on guard against individuals who may pose as our employees just to gain access to their homes." See their 1 April news release for SAWS protocols.
Blue Armor was provided the details of yesterday's case and will escort solicitors from the property should they return. If you're concerned about solicitors in FSR, call Association Management Services (829-7202) to request a security patrol response and SAPD (207-7273) if you wish to file a report. A call to SAPD is especially warranted if you're subject to strong arm or dishonest sales practices.
