(KAIR)--A door to door solicitor is raising concerns in Brown County.
That message comes in a release issued by Brown County Sheriff John Merchant, who says he has received concerns from several county residents, who report a man is going door to door telling them he has one last load of asphalt from a job, and is in need of a driveway to put it in. The man reportedly told residents he is willing to do the work at a reduced cost, but has, in two instances, required a cash down payment.
Merchant says that while he can’t be certain the sales attempts are a scam, the fact the man is not known locally, and is requiring a cash payment, raises suspicions.
Merchant requests that residents be aware of who they are conducting business with.
Merchant says a credible business person should have a business card, a company vehicle, references from satisfied customers, and other such documentation.
Anyone with questions should notify Merchant at (785) 742-7125.
