Keep getting robocalls, report to donotcall.gov.
Have you ever reported an unwanted call to the FTC, whether it’s a robocall (where you hear a recorded message) or call from a live person?
Watch out for those Door to Door salesmen. The City of American Falls requires door to door salesmen to apply for a Solicitors License before going door to door. They have to display the license the city issues them. Be cautious of anyone you allow into your home and any contract you may sign with them. If you have any questions or concerns about a salesman that may show up at your door, you can contact the Police Department to come check them out or to advise if there is a license issued for that person.
Nowadays, you can encounter a scam artist just about anywhere — online, over the phone and even at your door.
How to Stop Unwanted Calls
Why are you getting so many calls? Odds are, many of the calls you’re getting are from scammers. Here’s how to stop unwanted calls. Share these with your friends, family, and followers. For more resources from the FCC on robocalls, go here.
The City of American Falls requires all door to door solicitors to have a Solicitor License thru the city. To get this license the individuals pay a fee and go thru a back ground check. Then they are required to display the license that states it is thru the City of AF and has a picture and name of the individual. If you have someone show up to your door without a license you can call the Police Department. Please always be cautious of who you allow into your homes.
Update- He has been captured.
Police said if you spot Blackfoot South mental hospital fugitive, Michael Krayenvenger, dial 911 immediately.
