My Ballard reader Paul sent us this note about an incident on Wednesday:
In the middle of the afternoon, a man (white, shaved head, 5’ 8-10, early 30s) knocked on our door despite the “no soliciting” sign. He claimed to be from Comcast and asked if we wanted to sign up for cable TV. There was an African-American man who was with him. He was wearing a blue/black down jacket. Neither of them had Comcast apparel and there was no Comcast vehicle on our street. We told them no thank you and they became rather stand-offish. This didn’t seem right at all to us. And after a couple minutes later I called the non-emergency police number and reported the incident.
Update: “Our direct sales persons should always have IDs with them,” said a Comcast representative in comments below. “If they do not have IDs, do not entertain them.”
