DINWIDDIE COUNTY, Va. — Residents here are growing concerned for their safety after multiple cases of a group of four trying to scam them into gaining access to their homes by posing as representatives of ADT Security.

WTVR reports the scam artists have targeted a pair of mobile home neighborhoods and deputies are investigating the claims.

According to residents, a white van containing four people circled the neighborhoods before going door to door to try to gain entry into the houses. Sometimes the van has been spotted at night.

“It makes the community feel unsafe,” said Dorothy Ramos, a resident of Green Acres Mobile Park, one of the neighborhoods that was targeted.

“Keep your kids closer and your doors and windows locked,” Ramos said.
