A good friend of mine father in law fell for an old trick yesterday morning.
He is 84 years old, looks more like he is in his late 60's to me, anyway, two men came to his house yesterday morning pretending to be employee's of the natural gas provider in the Houston area. They told him they needed to check his gas meter. Although he was relunctant, he gave them access to the meter. When he opened hia attached garage he was jumped by both, taped up in a chair & left in the garage.
He has rent homes and had been counting his rent money on the kitchen table at the time this occured, thus loosing about $3k and they stole his truck when they left, saying, Don't get up until we're gone or we will kill you. He was banged up a little had got a black eye, but is still here today!
