ORANGE PARK, Fla. – Deputies in Clay County are looking for a man they said scammed two businesses on Wells Road in Orange Park.
Deputies said the man entered each business and asked to use the phone. He then called in as a bogus wrecker/tow-truck driver requesting that someone cover a bill for "the business next door" until they came in to work.
