From the Clay Center Kansas Police Department Facebook page:
Scam Alert!!
There is a white male, approx. 5'8", short brown hair, clean shaven, possibly wearing a black shirt w/2 Cs (one inside the other) on his left breast area. Possibly wearing khaki pants today. Possible vehicle is a dark colored sedan. He is going door to door claiming to work for various telecommunication companies and offering a better deal. He is asking to see people's current bills so he can offer a better deal. He talks people into paying him a down payment to start the service.
It is not legal for salespeople to go door to door in Clay Center without the proper license from the City. It is also believed that this individual does not work for the companies that he claims to be associated with. We checked with Dish Network and they have no salespeople working in this area. If you have contact with this individual do not do business with him and call the Police Department ASAP at 785 632-2121.
