***SCAM ALERT FROM CHILDRESS POLICE***
Two white males in a white Chevy extended cab pickup are going door to door soliciting to sell Direct Energy. They are not permitted through the City, and we have already had some scam alerts from residents in Childress. Beware of these door to door salesmen. Always feel free to ask them for a city permit, because they are required to have it on them. Never give them any personal information, and feel free to call the police if needed.
