LexiSales scam spurs arrest
Sales scam spurs arrest
By Darcie Moore, Times Record Staff
WEST BATH — The Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s
Department issued a warning Tuesday about scams in the Mid-coast
region after an investigation of magazine salesmen going door to
door in West Bath led to an arrest.
The incident in West Bath adds to a list of law-enforcement concerns about door-to-door sales in Maine this summer. A Missouri man affiliated with an out-of-state, door-to-door sales operation was arrested in Auburn late last month and charged in connection with a home invasion there. Another man affiliated with a similar sales group was arrested in Portland on warrants for burglary, kidnapping and robbery in Alabama.
Throughout southern Maine, police have reported a significant increase in complaints about overly aggressive or potentially fraudulent door-to-door sales.
