Pine Straw Scammers Back In Tupelo

Morgan Howard

The Tupelo Police Department posted on facebook a warning about pine straw scammers.
According to police, if someone is legit, they must have a permit to sell door-to-door.
The City of Tupelo permit office said that there are currently no active permits for pine straw sales in Tupelo.
Police said these “salesmen” often use high-pressure tactics and intimidation to sell the pine straw and they often target elderly people.
