Huntsville business owners beware, police say scammers are targeting you.
The Huntsville Police Department says this week a local business owner was contacted by Premier Impressions, a company claiming to sell advertising magnets.
The company even used the police department's name in the sales pitch and took a checking account number from the business owner.
When the owner later researched the company online, he noticed several red flags. Luckily, he was able to cancel the check in time.
The police department says you'll find numerous complaints against the company online, even from former employees.
Authorities say if you receive a call from a solicitor, research the company before making an agreement.
If you've been targeted by these scammers contact Huntsville Police at 936-291-5480.

Premier Impressions aka Universal Adcom. I'm not sure you can say it is a scam, but they do use unethical and deceptive practices to make a sale. I recommend not supporting this group.
