While inside, the man took the woman's wallet and was last seen driving a green Dodge pickup truck, Officer Michelle McJunkin said. There's nothing really new about these con games. A lot of our seniors may be lonely and welcome the chance to talk to people, but these scam artists are trying to rob them. McJunkin said all residents should be aware of people who claim to be city inspectors, or who offer home repair improvements, termite or pest control, driveway sealing, or any other related home repairs if the resident didn't call the salesmen first. Workers for utility companies and government agencies have identifications.
Residents can call the appropriate agencies to ensure the workers are legitimate.
If Mauldin residents encounter anyone suspicious, they are encouraged to call the Police Department at 297-5200. The Greenville News .
