If "welcome" person arrives in a car, get the license plate and car description or take a photo of it before he/she exits the car. Record your conversation.

Take your photos and recording to the sheriff's office and ask if you can swear out a warrant for his/her arrest on fraud charges. Probably not, but it will get their attention. Email your county commissioner and the county business license office attaching your evidence and ask if the company's business license can be revoked for misrepresentation and fraud. If enough people complain, the county might take notice. County commissioners are elected officials. Also send your evidence to TV Community Watch.

By all means, post on TOTV the name of the company that tried to sell you something so everyone on TOTV knows to never, ever buy anything from them, ever.

Either that or call the posse to be there at the appointed time too so we can beat the crap out of the fraudster.

Scammers are scum. Let's work together to run them off.

pturner - if this basket lady wants to call on us for an appt, may i request a round up of "the posse" at my home some time before the scheduled appt? we could share some "coffee and" and then be prepared tp show her what our water system is all about!
