I recently purchased a home in Prairie Village, KS and I received this letter in the mail. The company name was "Welcome Home".
Seems that it is the same people/person that this blog is refereeing to <http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-913-538-5777/2>. Beware. Seems they have changed there name in recent months from 'Hello Neighbors' to 'Welcome Home'

Lady sounded very nice, said that the local vendors contribute to "gift packages" for new home owners in the greater KC Area. Said that the water treatment guy will come out and test the water and bring all the gifts with him. Nope! Consistent with the majority here she mentioned that both my partner and I be home at the same time.
I asked if they had a website.. "Haven't got it setup yet". Asked if they are recognized by BBB.. she mumbled a bit and changed the subject. Huge red flag.
Can't be certain if it's a scam per se but certainly sounds like some sort of con, fishy fishy all the same and I don't care to find out.
Thank you so much for posting your note. I am very skeptical of anything that is so evasive or "free". So, I started researching and came across this post. You saved me further research. Thank you!
The address listed on the envelope is 711 N Lindenwood, Olathe, KS. 713 N Lindenwood Dr, Olathe, KS is the address of Hague Quality Water of Kansas City. I applied for a job there once. It requires lots of cold calling and selling of water purification systems. Since your note above stated that the "water man" would come out "test the water". In their job presentations, they made it out like the water in the region is terrible. I happen to know that Water One water is some of the best in the nation. So this whole thing is just to get their salesman in your house to try to sell you a water purification system.
