Don't Be Fly By Night Operator Victim
The Greater Aikien Chamber of Commerce reports frequent complaints about door to door and mail solicitors selling scams. Chamber Manager Douglas Everett cites six to eight weekly calls and several monthly written complaints as victims seek refunds. An elderly local woman nearly paid $170 over a Colorado negotiable check for a $250 sewing machine. A pest control ruse also led a local woman to pay an advance, after which the man vanished. This appears a common pattern of fly by night operations.
