A very sketchy guy showed up at my door three weeks ago - a young guy, blonde curly hair, wearing a suit that he somehow just didn't seem to fit into properly. He looked like a surfer dude someone stuck in a cheap suit. He must have been casing my house, because his opening remarks were about some stickers on my car:
I work on a military base and have specific stickers on my windshield, which, when I park my car, faces my garage door. You'd have to walk around the car to see these stickers and put yourself between the car and my garage to see them. Kind of an odd thing to do for a guy claiming to be "a college grad breaking out as a financial advisor for Edward Jones." He 'buttered my bread,' making remarks to the effect of, "..so glad you represent the Army, my uncle is in Iraq...." My stickers do NOT say Army. Nothing on my car says Army. I found these remarks more than odd, they were down-right creepy. He then wanted to hand me a business card, which meant I'd have to open my door. I refused, so he said he'd put it in the mailbox. He asked if he could send me info - wanted my name. I refused. He said he lived locally - that he lived in a town that is right next to mine. I asked him to leave.
A week later I got a note card in the mail from him - it was addressed to me, with my name, which I did not give him. It was post marked from the town next door.
A week later my spouse received a phone call from someone from Edward Jones who claimed to be this guy, but he gave a different town that he was from, and the phone number on the called ID was 314-515-6122. Not a phone number from our area or even our state.
According to an internet search, Edward Jones was taken to court in a law suit for fraud and lost - to the tune of $75million, apparently they've frauded their customers.
BEWARE EDWARD JONES OR ANYONE CLAIMING TO BE FROM THIS COMPANY. Smells too much like fraud or phishing, or worse. How did this creep get my name? Must have used one of those pay-for web searches where you pluck in a street address and get all kinds of personal information. Will he be back? Is he a robber or worse? IDK, but I will call the police the next time I hear from him.
Got a call from this number and he was pretty slick on social engineering questions to get information. Said his name was Brandon Miles representing a company called Next Era Energy and he had an investment opportunity.
He said he was worked with an Edward Jones advisor that we know.
