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.
We received the same postcard in our new home (we've been here a little less than two months). We paid one water bill already. Does anyone know whether this is legitimate or if it's a scam?
The fact that people are here makes me think this is a scam. I got the same postcard. That is NOT the number for my water company. I use American Water. Their corporate HQ is in NJ, and they do not service Delaware, which is where this postcard claims to be from. For the record, I also recently purchased my home, so I think since they see the new listing, scammers are trying to take advantage.
The're just sending them to everyone - our house is over 50 years old and we've been her for 18 years. This is a prime example of deceptive and unethical advertising, and if it isn't technically a scam, it's damn close!
