Just received a second notice saying "sorry we missed you". Just like everyone else we were home. I called the number because this is a rental property and the slip stated the owners name. So I called to let them know she did not reside at this address because I was assuming this was important. They asked if I would get a hold of the owner for them. Thankfully , I said, "No." If it was an important piece of mail they should already have their clients correct contract information.  At that point I knew something was up.  End of conversation, she did not want to talk with me and quickly ended our call.  So, I looked up the company and found all of these postings.

Scam or not people don't like being tricked into thinking they are missing an important piece of mail. When in fact it is a gimmic to make you call. So, to the employees that are writing in saying this is not a scam that you are truly selling services. In speaking for myself I don't like being tricked and lied to when trying to be sold something.  What a horrible sales technique!  If your company is not a scam, then use an honest approach.

Received a card and called the San Antonio police. They had not heard of anything regarding these cards. I told them about how I had read about neighborhoods being cased, advertising scam etc, they said to be vigilant or they could send an officer and I could file a report. I did not file the report but instead wrote the Texas Attorney General's office to investigate these jerks. I hope they get put out of business. Also of note they are not listed on any BBB complaints.

Ginger, if you are a reporter, I can tell you people need to be aware of this scam. It is not just a telemarketing scam, they are casing people's home for burglary! I received a card on my door two days ago. My husband did some research on it, because the card is very suspicious looking. We asked several neighbors if they had gotten the same card. No one had. One of my neighbors is a local sheriff. He explained this scam to us. They target new home owners. They attempt to find out if you have an alarm system. If you don't, you are a target. If you agree to purchase their alarm system, they will send someone out to case your home and its vulnerabilities. They will install some alarm system that of course they know how to bypass. In a couple of months you may be robbed. Anyone who gets this card should immediately report it to the police and save the card as evidence!

I got two cards today, but the phone numbers are 214-447-7610 and 817-259-0207.  The card also says "Sorry We Missed You!", along with my name and address printed on it.  Has first attempt checked off.    I will be reporting to the police tomorrow morning.

Same issue here in Phoenix.  

They found out I bought the home.  I see the person pull up, drop off a notice and he says to me he we missed you call the number.  He's lying.  Fraud.

Another new home owner with the same shady message in AZ - GeoTrek Stay THE HELL AWAY FROM ME! - I don't do business with liars.

Thank you so much for the info. Dang I already gave my email address.  Guess I can block the email as spam if I get anything from them?

Received 2nd notice from Geotrek. Called to find our what it was and who they are. Said they were giving $300 in local area restruants to new home owners in the area. Unfortunately, I didn't look on the internet for them first and gave my email address already. I was asked if I needed to set up a water softner system or security system..  I didn't give her any other info.  confirmation # was 1118-0673

I bought a house between two private parties and found the note on my door 3 days later, they are fast.  
I dont' think it's a burglary scam since it seems to be happening over several states, just deceptive marketers.  It's amazing how they got my info so fast and also there must be a huge profit margin since they have people drive around and hand deliver the notice, I received a postcard quality print on my front door, not the flyer quality someone mentioned in a previous post.
Also believe the reason for the conformation number is so they know you've responded to their ploy,  since they already have your name and address.  
Feel sorry for the people who bought property on forms that contain their full name, phone number E-mail and more.

Hi Ginger,
Just got another one of these cards , a man who spoke very little English knocked and left it on my door,
When I asked him who he was and what it was about he just said  "he didn't know" and walked away. This smells like a scam to me!!!

I just got a call from these people. I didn't answer the phone, even though it was local, and I didn't know the number. I love this site for calling these scammers/potential thieves out.

Oh, and for those of you doubting Gingers credentials: http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2012/12/19/cbs-11-inv ... -what-it-seems/

Rat Bats! I called these people, gave em my confirmation number, and asked them to identify themselves and what their company does for a business. They wouldn't answer me nut instead kept asking me if I was who I was by last name. I reminded them that I called them and asked what kind of company they were. They repeated asked me if I was the name attached to the confirmation ID. I asked to speak to someone who could explain why they had physically been on my property. They told me they would have a supervisor call me back - Ha! Apparently, the phone girl was not even qualified to explain that. I plan on calling them something like 5 times a day to explain what I had for breakfast until they quit answering my calls. And perhaps I will set a trap

Sorry but I called and they were helpful and i even received a $100.00 certificate to r.com it was great. BTW you called them so there was no list ..

Just wanted to point that out.

Sir,
First of all I feel you have too much time on your hands. I just recently moved to TX and started my business. In order to get clientele I have to advertise and how did I do that you ask. I hired 3 guys to hand out flyers for the company at home at the mall every where I could think of. Was that wrong of me to do? Should I have just opened up and WAITED for people to walk it the door? I DO NOT THINK SO!!

Nothing is wrong with fishing for business.  There are many moraly ligitimate ways to do it, sounds like you used a few.  But you shoud not do it by misleading people into thinking the card or call is legal, urgent or vitally important.

Just answered a call from this number (as I'm also in 214 area code).  They knew my car make and model and my name.  Said they noticed I did not extend the warranty on it.  I stopped him immediately and told him that I was on do not call list and it was an unsolicited call.  He immediately hung up.  Who is this company and WHY do they call with information like that?  Don't you think if I wanted an extended warranty I would've already purchased one?  Scary that they know your car and personal information....wonder who is giving this information out for free?  At any rate, they are now blocked on my phone...
