Beware of this Roof Mailer--This is NOT a County Program

Late yesterday afternoon many in Escambia County received an "official-looking" mailer like the one I received, above.

Looks like something official from Escambia County.

The problem--the county has not authorized this nor does the county have anything to do with this.

It looks like a sales job--misleading at best--a scam at worst.

So I am telling folks DO NOT call this number and DO NOT give them any information. This is not a county program and there is no county program where we fund roofs up to $75K. Nada.

Both the county attorney and the county administrator have been notified. I am told the State Attorney has also been given a copy of this and told what is going on.

The county has sent out a press release, and Channel 3 is covering this story as well.
