OUTAGAMIE COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) — The Outagamie County Sheriff’s Office says they’ve been receiving reports of suspicious surveyors, and are informing the community that it is actually legitimate.
The individuals are Tilson Survey employees; a company that specializes in telecommunications infrastructure. They have contracted with fiber optic company SHR Communications LLC based out of Florida and are doing survey work between Seymour and New London.
They are oftentimes wearing high visibility vests and do have I.D.’s identifying themselves as Tilson Survey employees.
The sheriff’s office says that although this one is legitimate; scams are out there. It’s important to look for a company issued photo identification, check for uniforms and vehicle markings, and be wary of demands for immediate payment. Legitimate utility workers in the field will not ask you to pay them directly. Pressure to hand over cash or purchase cryptocurrency are red flags.
