Last week I had 2 visits to our front door, unknown knockers. 1st one said he was meeting a friend, 'john wilkinson' there. And 2nd guy, days later, said he was there to 'buy a controller'.
Im a life long resident in my city, cant remember last time Ive had a wrong address unknown knocker, tho I know they occur. Now 2 in a week. We upped our security immediately, which was already pretty solid, but added 6 cameras.
It freaks me out for obvious reasons. Idk if theres an address spoofing scam going on or its casing. I dont believe it was just 2 random wrong addresses. Absolutely not. I read dozens of articles over the weekend on scams and both knockers stories were listed as examples to be sus of. And even without reading those duh. Come on. So Id say Im in a strong condition orange rn. Does anyone know of any scams going on that would include using addresses or has had experience with door knocking casing that you could offer input about?
Yes, I answer by speaking thru door, Im also armed. Also trained in fighting arts, which go beyond physical defense capabilities, also train our senses, 2 teens at home also trained. The cameras have some value for ability to speak thru them, they are also mounted high so visible but unreachable which can add as a deterrent, with everything else. I think my biggest point here is to share my experience and see if anyone has had similar ones, and if nothing else heads up of possible scam. I think its a good thing if we all share with one another and stay as alert as can be!
About getting comfortable with my gun, I agree! Havent been to range tho in awhile bc range ammo, geez its so expensive when we can find it. I do have laser set up for practice tho. I agree the defund the police rhetoric is making things worse! I pray God protect all our LE, its awful for them and for law abiding folks like us
