Crime alert: door-to-door scam

According to the Highlands North HOA website, there's a new door-to-door scam in the area that neighbors need to know about. There have been reports of a man has been knocking on doors, claiming that he's a UTD communications student who is selling books so he can raise money for studying abroad. A neighbor called UTD and it turns out the university doesn't have any sort of communications department--and there is no such book sale program. If you or your neighbors come across the scam, let your neighborhood crime-watch groups know about it.
