Cops Are Better Than Yelp Or The Better Business Bureau

When I read stories like this one about a couple of swindlers who poured sealant on an elderly woman's driveway, insisted on being paid for the unrequested work, and then jacked the price and made her give them half of her savings, I think we need to reinforce with seniors a simple thing: If someone is trying to make you pay for something you didn't want in the first place, pick up the phone and call the police. Like, right away. While they're standing there. They'll go away. Forget the AARP lessons in how to know when you're being taken; if you have even the slightest question, just dial the local police and that should separate the honest from the crooks.
