Received text from "Sam Cole" wanting to know if I do so tissue and do I take credit cards.
Glad I looked up the number.

Every year there is some request fro this service.  They say they get your info from YELP and they are in construction.  They want to do an employee thing and they want to go to your location.  They want to pay with cc then they make up some excuse, they will then day they will drive their employees to you.  Blah, blah, blah.

BS don't do it.  I have always looked up these things on line and then notify my community.  Good luck.
