Milton, GA -- The Milton Police Department is informing residents of a scam involving a person posing as a city employee.

The agency said Tuesday on its Facebook page that it’s received some information from residents who say individuals are claiming to be city of Milton staff members and/or representatives of Greenlife Water, a Canadian-based company that provides water filtration systems for home use.

“These individuals are reported to be quite aggressive in their techniques (knocking on doors until someone answers; not taking ‘no’ for an answer) and also to be telling homeowners that ‘the city wants to check their water’,” the agency said.

As expected, this is a scam, the police department said. Those individuals are not from the city and anyone who has interactions with them is asked to call 911 immediately, Milton police said.
