The following information was supplied on Oct. 12 by LAPD Senior Lead Officer Michael Moore of the West LA Division and posted to our Facebook page:
A homeowner has reported a scam artist working in Pacific Palisades neighborhoods.
On Oct. 9, a person going by the name of Frankie Mitchell, accompanied by a Tiffany John (who hands out “My Self Cleaning” cards with the phone number 657 230-1073), knocked loudly on the front door of a home on Revello Drive at about 5 p.m. The two were driving an old small black car, license plate 7PMS905.
Mitchell told the homeowner that he had just worked on a neighbor’s car up the hill and offered to repair a dent and scratches on the side of the homeowner’s car.
The homeower agreed and paid Mitchell $750 for an hour’s work in the driveway. Mitchell covered his work with a blue gel and said to leave it on for 24 hours.
According to Moore, that gel simply covered up the shoddy work Mitchell had done.
