Rotten Meat Scam Hitting Montana

Another scam is going around that you need to be aware of. No reports yet of it hitting Billings but looks like it has hit the NW part of the state.

According to reports: "Around 5 pm on Tuesday, January 27th, 2015 Missoula resident Heidi Mikulski was at home when a door to door salesperson stopped by. He said his name is Earl Glaspie and he was trying to sell packages of meat and seafood. Heidi was courteous enough to invite him in and listen to his sales pitch. He then covered her floor with different cuts of meat and large bags of seafood with a large package initially costing $379.00. " I guess Heidi refused but after bartering for a while and knowing she had family in town soon she settled on $300 for the whole package including King Crab legs, large bags of shrimp, and various steak cuts.

When she received the meat and seafood it was rotten. Authorities ask when you are approached by a scam to inform them right away and gather as much information as you can.

Be cautious and it's not the best idea to buy food or meat from a door to door salesmen, not now a days anyway.
