The Better Business Bureau and victims of a scam are warning about door-to-door alarm salesmen.  The BBB says they've received several calls about a man claiming to be with the BBB selling alarm systems.  Workers there say the man is not with them.
 
Lubbock resident Romeyo Kirven says his 90-year-old boss turned away an alarm salesman...only to have his home burglarized days later.  Now the BBB is warning residents to watch for these salesmen.

Nan Campbell, BBB:
"When you're asking about your personal dwelling and your security, I think people have the right to be a little bit skeptical and ask a lot of questions." 

Both the BBB and Kirven say police are aware and on the lookout for the men.
