Thief Alert / Be aware
I am posting this solely as a warning to everyone. As I tell this story keep in mind it has nothing to do with AT&T or their affiliates whatsoever. This is solely a low life crook praying on honest hard working people. My friend, a fellow trucking co owner in my area had a person show up at his shop dressed as an At&T employee with stickers on his van indicating he was a contractor for the company. He told my friend he was there to work on the lines and so on. He let him in and proceeded to go back to work. The guy stays about an hour playing with random outlets in each room including the office which has a large safe in it. The next day he shows up again in plain clothes and an unmarked car and says he has more work to do. He is let in again and does the same as the previous day. A few days go by and he shows up a third time unmarked as well. This time my friend has his safe cracked open as he was going through some stuff. He gets a call from the shop and runs back there. This being a saturday there is nobody else in the office to watch over the alleged repair man. Ten minutes later my buddy returns to find his safe wide open, $30,000 in cash missing, 4 very high end hand guns missing including a 1913 army issued Colt from his grandfather, A couple high end rifles, 2 gold bars and his employee files including soc numbers. He immediattely calls the police as well as AT&T. AT&T proceeds to tell him that they had not been there since 4 months ago and have had similiar complaints of this type recently. I want to stress that in no way at all am I putting down AT&T. I like most people have safes with valuables in them. The point of this story is to warn my fellow brothers out there trying to make an honest living of low life crooks that ruin the lives of others for there own greed. I use AT&T and think they are a good company. We just need to stick together and try and prevent incidents like this from happening. I hope that this helps all of you to keep a keen eye out. Thank you for reading this,
Scott
