Smoke Det. Scam



This is a FYI to all dealers please be aware.

Today I received a phone call that was set up thru a Relay Service as in a
TTY from Hearing Impaired.  The best I could figure out was that the
individual "Angela" was looking for a price for a particular model of smoke
detector from both Firex and BRK.  I was asked to send prices to an email
address.

Since the Relay is difficult to get good info I decided to send an email
requesting more info.  The info I got back was very unusual.  The email
wanted to know what the cost would be for the Smokes UPS'd to my location
and they would have them picked up by FEDEX.

Say WHAT???

And oh, what credit card do you take???

And oh, this is for 620 units.

HELLO????????????

Any how this is a SCAM.  I have talked to my distributor and they have been
and are aware of the SCAM.  Don't know how it works don't care.

I have made a complaint to the FBI and will ignore all future email.

Just wanted to make all aware so that you can be prepared.

Have a better day.
