Prince George, B.C. - Residents are being warned of what  appears to be yet another scam in the city.

Police have received six reports thus far of two men who have come to homes with security company signs on  the door. They tell the home owners that the alarm company  they currently have  will be either obsolete soon or that the company is going out of business.  They then offer to take over the business.

The pair, identified as about six feet tall, driving a convertible with Alberta license plates, go to the security box, and in at least one case, cut the wires, then install a bogus panel which is not hooked up. They ask the home owner for a blank unsigned cheque, have the home owner sign a contract and then leave.

Police say they don’t know what the exact motive of the cutting of the panel boxes is, the fact remains that these home have no security service when they leave.
