Scammers after storms

 In Mora on the 11th there was a bad storm and there was lot’s of damage, mainly trees ect. But I wanted to warn you about scammers after storms. And I heard from a friend that her sister had a scam call on that Saturday after the storm, that shows how quick they are. Here’s how a typical roof scam works: After a storm hits your area, you receive a phone call or a knock on the door by someone who claims they are a roofing contractor. The scammer will pressure you to sign a contract on the spot or pay upfront. They will often offer to inspect your roof, but this is a scam, too — once up there, they often create even more damage so they can tally up a larger bill. Be wary of storm scammers pretending to be your insurance company requesting personal information over the phone. Only provide personal information if you have picked up the phone and made the call yourself. Storm scammers may tell you they’ve been sent by your insurance company, but your insurance company will alert you before a contractor or other worker is sent. Other common restoration scams include sub-par work and materials, price gouging and advance payment for work that is never completed. yoursafemoneyshow.com.
