Those door-to-door salesmen are in Lamar, too

(From the Lamar Police Department)

It's that time of year again when door-to-door salesmen hit the streets offering to sell you new or upgraded services. 

We at the Lamar Police Department have taken two calls on such activities just today. Generally, a legitimate company will have their salesmen obtain a business license before going door to door. 

If you are contacted by a salesman and suspect that they are not legitimate, please contact the Police Department at 417-682-3546.

Some helpful information to get would be: Their name, a business card (if they have one), a description of the individual(s), a description of their vehicle (if they have one) and any company markings there may be. Also, any identifying or contact information they may give you during their sales pitch.
