LAKE
PLACID - Faye Hamilton thought she was getting a free carpet
cleaning, but instead discovered roughly $400 missing from her bedroom.
The
thieves have not
been caught, but
they
apparently were masquerading as a carpet cleaning service.
Hamilton was an unlucky victim of this con.
The
79-year-old Lake
Placid woman was sitting inside her apartment on Feb. 4 when the doorbell rang. On
the other side was a woman holding a flyer advertising a new business
she was trying to open in town, according to Hamilton. From Highlands Today.
