The City of Gallup wishes to advise its residents to be on alert for a consumer scam.

In a press release published April 10, the city stated that  several residents have reported receiving door to door visits from vendors selling solar panels or solar systems, claiming they are working with the City of Gallup to help utility customers reduce or eliminate their electric bills.

The City of Gallup is not affiliated with any solar panel or solar system company.  The vendors soliciting the sale of solar products are not licensed to do business with the City of Gallup.

Do not give these salesmen any of personal information and notify the Gallup Police Department by calling Metro Dispatch at (505)722-2002. The GPD asks that people provide the telecommunicator with a description of the salesmen as well as any vehicle they may be using.
