Fake Water Inspectors in Riverside
There are two impostors going to homes in Riverside and saying they are there to check your water for contaminants and that two people had died in the area.
On August 1st, a couple in the city’s historic downtown area became victims of the scam. One thief engaged the couple in conversation while his partner roamed through the house. After the impostors left, the couple realized that some jewelry was missing and things had been searched through.
The police department urges “all citizens to be aware of such scams or similar incidents involving door-to-door solicitors”.
Anyone with information about the scammers is encouraged to contact Riverside police at (951) 826-8716.
