Libertyville, IL – Residents in Libertyville are being cautioned after reports surfaced of a broadband contractor allegedly attempting to solicit unauthorized access to homes. Police said individuals claiming to represent broadband provider i3 have been approaching residents to promote services and collect personal information.
According to the Libertyville Police Department, while i3 has been approved to install fiber lines in the village’s right-of-way, contractors are not authorized to go door-to-door to solicit services. Authorities stressed that residents should not feel pressured to provide information or grant access to their homes.
Police advised anyone who encounters individuals claiming to represent i3 to call the Libertyville Police Department at 847-362-8310 or i3 directly at 309-689-0711 to confirm their identity. Officers also reminded residents that “No Solicitor” signs displayed on doors should be respected.
The village offers free “No Solicitor” signs, which can be picked up at Village Hall or the police department upon request. Officials reiterated that while i3 is permitted to conduct fiber installation work in public areas, they should not be initiating contact with residents for sales or data collection.
Authorities are encouraging residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious solicitation activity immediately.
