Beware of Door to Door Scam

Residents and Business Leaders:

Louisville Metro Department of Housing and Family Services Office for Aging and Disabled Citizens has informed us that there is a group of young people working eastern Jefferson County selling magazine subscriptions and other services.  The name they are using is Nxcess Sales.  The amount of the sales (profits) are supposed to go to a charity. They will have local information and a sad story to tell you.  This is a scam and you will lose whatever you pay them.  They cash checks the same day and continue on to another neighborhood.

You can Google the name Nxcess and the first page of hits you get will be relating to this nationwide scam.  The company is out of Arizona, and some of the individuals working in Jefferson County claim to be from Florida.

If you have any information on this group, please contact the Louisville Metro Police 574-2258 (Major Mark Fox, Officer William Mattingly and/or Det. Todd Brimm) or the individual below to report it as soon as possible:
