"Mike" the scam artist is back!

Posted by rbutler on Wednesday, December 28 @ 2:58pm

For at least two years, a man has been approaching in Allen and Plano residents and posing as a new neighbor in order to scam them out of money. He is so calm and smooth that resident's never suspect and he doesn't even try to hide his car. There is no telling what else he is up to (he could be scoping out your house for burglary or he could be a sexual predator) and there is no telling what someone that fearless is capable of.

If you see him, call 911 immediately and try to get a license plate. If you see any adult male on your street that is not a neighbor, call the Allen PD's non-emergency tip line at (214) 509-4321 and ask them to come check it out.
