Fraud warning – an unknown con artist going by the moniker of Tyre Hall is selling fraudulent subscriptions to the AVC Examiner.
Hall arrived at the residence of Connie Jo Crowder of Lancaster late in the afternoon on Aug. 7 and “sold” an eight-week subscription to the AVC Examiner for $18 with papers purportedly arriving every Sunday.
Crowder describes the fraudster as a very polite and clean cut African American with medium dark skin and short curly black hair. Dressed in a white t-shirt with a design in grey and black, black chinos pants, noticeably clean brand name shoes and a sparkling stud in one ear.
Hall filled out a subscription form for the Los Angeles Times saying that the Times was “sponsoring” the Examiner. Hall used source code 04-0510, which is used by the Times, to add validity to the whole process.
Please keep an eye out for this miscreant, and call the Los Angeles County Sheriff with any information on this case at (661) 948-8466.
