Need a TV repairman to fix your big screen TV? Not so fast! A con artist posing as a TV repairman is making his rounds in St. Louis, Missouri area, according to Fox 2 Now News.

The con man looks at your flat screen and says he needs to order a power supply. To do so, he takes a part from the TV and cash. The receipt he gives to customers does not even have an address, just a title of his service and a phone number.
