Meat salesman rips off elderly

To the editor:

On May 18 a salesman came to my house selling frozen beef. He misrepresented what he was selling, because a box had only about seven pounds of meat in it. Two boxes cost me $557.14.

I am 85 years old and blind in one eye and going to have the other eye operated on. And I can hardly hear at all. The salesman told me some friends had bought meat from him, which made me think he was OK.

The meat came from Premium Steakhouse Meats, but the address was torn off, so I don't know how to contact the company. I have called the phone number the salesman gave me with no results.

If anyone is concerned, I would like for this man to be caught to keep old people from being taken.
