The Bellevue Police Department is aware of numerous complaints, both through phone calls and social media, regarding a door-to-door solicitor representing Fastwyre Fiber who was allegedly misrepresenting herself as an employee of the City of Bellevue.

Officers contacted the individual this afternoon. While she did not admit to any wrongdoing, the complaints received were very similar in nature and it became apparent that some of the sales tactics being used were deceptive to residents.

The individual voluntarily relinquished her solicitor’s permit in lieu of a revocation hearing and is no longer permitted to conduct door-to-door solicitation within Bellevue city limits.

We want to remind residents to always ask for identification and verify who you are speaking with before providing personal information or agreeing to services at your door. If you ever feel uncomfortable or believe someone is being deceptive, please contact the Bellevue Police Department.
