FAKE PG&E WORKER, BEWARE
As seen on News24/680 (https://news24-680.com/2018/12/11/police-investigating-reported-burglary-in-orinda-downs-tuesday/) people are becoming more creative to make you a victim and get inside your home. The new scam entails suspects posing as PG&E Employee’s coming to your door to create a distraction as someone else enters into your home. The fast talker at the door keeps you occupied while someone enters your house (possibly through the back door) and has time to look inside your house for quick cash valuables (IE: Jewelry, small electronics and other valuable things).
