truck knocked on the door and of-
fered to apply a new kind of alumi-
num roof waterproofing compound
for only $500.
Later that day, the men told the
couple the job was done: “Just $500
per hour for labor and materials,
times four hours.” The couple, more
than a little fearful, wrote the check
for $2,000.
When they tried to stop payment
on the check a couple of hours later,
they learned it had already been
cashed. They called the local police,
but with the next rain, the “com-
pound” washed off the roof.
It’s a true story, according to the
Area Agency on Aging of Texoma.
Chennault also warned people
not to call numbers beginning with
the area code 809, and to not return
calls from strangers, who may mis-
represent themselves in order to
