Very early morning, my young son comes running into my room waking me up, someone is knocking at the door. I was expecting a package, so I figured it was the mail service and ignored it.

Few minutes later, its much more aggressive now. Very loud banging. I get up and look out the window, there’s a truck and some individuals. I dont recognize any of them. No markings of a company on the truck. The knocking is getting VERY aggressive now. Like theyre trying to knock down the door. Now Im starting to freak out.

Immediately called the police, they show up a few minutes later. The police talked to the people outside, and then came inside the house. The police told me they were hired by the owners of the property to clean the house for selling. (I am the outright owner, and I did not hire anybody nor selling the house.) I told the police this, they went back outside.

The police came back with a key the individuals had, the key had a tag on it with my address and the name of a realty company. They were trying to use the key to get into my house. The police said the people tried to contact who hired them but nobody answered. Eventually everybody left and that was it.

Ive never heard of any sort of scam like this. I cant even imagine what the scam possibly would be. Maybe it was just an honest mistake. I’m hoping maybe somebody on here can recognize this and maybe give some insight.

Thanks!
