Door-To-Door Solicitor Doesn't Work For Falmouth, Police Say

FALMOUTH, MA — Police are cautioning residents about a door-to-door solicitor who misrepresented themselves as a town employee.

A resident of Minot Street said the solicitor came to her home wearing a lanyard with a town ID, asking for her Eversource bill and email address.

"The Town of Falmouth is not selling solar, and nobody selling solar (or any other product) door-to-door represents the Town of Falmouth," police said in a statement.

Residents who are unsure about a solicitor should contact the police department, where door-to-door solicitors are required to register before operating in Falmouth.
