Fraudulent Door-to-Door Visitors
|
|
SFPD is receiving information about subjects going door to door claiming to be employees of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) or the San Francisco Department of Public Health. These subjects are apparently asking for entry into residences to conduct inspections or searches. If someone claiming to be with the CDC or SFDPH calls to your door, do not let them in. Call 9-1-1 and provide the dispatcher with the suspect’s description and as much detail as possible.
