Possible Smith County Scam Warning

SMITH COUNTY — The Smith County Sheriff’s Department is warning the public of a possible door-to-door scam in the area. Lt. Tony Dana says they’ve been getting reports of aggressive salesmen for Advanage Wonder Cleaner. The product has been flagged on the internet as a “bait and switch” scam which says the product used in demonstration works very well, but the product that is sold does not work well, or sometimes not at all.

Lt. Dana says if you choose to purchase the product, use cash, not credit, debit cards or checks. There have been reports of identity theft linked to the company. Dana says at least one of the salesmen has a felony record in Smith County. No charges have been filed against the company in Smith County at this time. Lt. Dana says don’t let strangers into your home and report any suspicious activity.
