I got the yellow card in the mail too. I know there are people out there that get scared when they see signs like this one. My advise is always don't just look at the mail and react!. Read it twice and do a search on it if you are not sure. Also the first place to look for a company info is the Better Business Bureau. I did that with this company and they install water systems for house that don't have city water. This company had 45 complains in the last 3 years. They try to get you with a free water test at home. The way they advertise is deceiving, especially older people. Also, check for phone numbers that are registered as scam or telemarketers.
I did a little more research, the company tests water. You can get a drinking water test from any big box store for free. So not necessarily a scam, but not clearly sure what, if anything, they do in addition to the free water test you get get from the big box stores
They're trying to sell water softeners and other water treatment supplies. No, not necessarily a scam, but very misleading since they don't state they are NOT affiliated with your water company. Most people will read the card and think it's from their water company. That's what people find scammy - if you have to mislead people in order to get them to call you back - they're not a company you'd really want to do business with. I also note lots of complaints about the misleading postcard across the Internet:
Have received multiple postcards from this company and I'm almost certain phone calls as well, though I screen my calls.
The post card has the return address AWP, 74 Southgate Blvd, New Castle, DE 19720.
It reads as others have stated: "Water Update. Unfortunately we have been unable to contact you by phone or home visit. Please contact us within the next 72 hours. Call between 9:00am-9:00pm Monday thru Friday. 9:00am-1pm Saturday. 302-544-7145. Thank you". I've read up on this company and these post cards. They do test water and sell water filtration and supply products, however they are operating sketchy advertising practices with these postcards, not indicating that they are advertisements. A few Google searches and you will find numerous past complaints with BBB and people warning to beware these postcards. Fortunately, I was aware that it was not my water company and have continued to recycle the postcards every time I receive them. As some others have said, I think they are targeting relatively new homeowners, I've lived in the home that I've been receiving the postcards for 1 year. Don't fall for these advertisements.
I got 8 of these cards for the past 2 mo. We have well water, no water bills. I did call from a private # to see what it was they said they were thru home depot and they want to send me a new home welcome gift, also will be a water sample test to test our water with a free shipping kit. Asked me questions about my water and said they will send me a welcome gift and the water test kit.
