Speakout
(Opinion ~ 05/13/23)
This Speakout message is for all the people of Sikeston, Missouri: Please be aware of scammers. A poor old lady that I cut her grass that lives on Stanford needed yard work done in her backyard. Well. she met this guy and his name is Scott. He was supposed to clean her backyard up. She paid him $200 in advance to the do job, and he never showed up. I know the lady is 86 years old, but what kind of person goes around taking advantage of an 86-year-old woman. He could have at least came back and done some of the work, but she felt felt so sorry for him, she paid him the $200 and he never came back and did any work. The guy’s name is Scott. I don’t know what he drives, but if you see anybody wanting to do yard work and his name is Scott, stay away from him — and do not pay somebody until they do the job first.
