WHAT TO WATCH FOR THIS WEEK BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU

LOOKING TO HIRE A CONTRACTOR? BEWARE OF SCAMS.

WHO IS MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO THIS TYPE OF SCAM? MEN AGED 55 - 67. MEDIAN LOSS WAS $1,905 CAD. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SCAM RISK INDEX AT BBB.ORG.

Tips to Spot this Scam

Use caution when hiring a home improvement contractor. Scams abound, especially following a major storm, flood, or other weather event when many homeowners are trying to repair their houses. But contractor scams can happen any time, so be wary of highpressure sales tactics, up front fees, and flyby-night businesses. Con artists will take homeowners’ money and deliver slipshod work… or no work at all.

Watch out for “red flags.” Say no to cash-only deals, high-pressure sales tactics, high upfront payments, handshake deals without a contract, and on-site inspections. Not all “storm chasers” are con artists, but enough are that you should be cautious any time a home contractor contacts you first…especially after a natural disaster.

How the Scam Works Home improvement scams can start with a knock on the door, a flyer, or an ad. The contractor may offer a low price or a short timeframe. One common hook is when the scammer claims to be working in your neighborhood on another project and has leftover supplies.

Ask for references and check them out. Bad contractors will be reluctant to share this information and scammers won’t wait for you to do your homework. Check them out at bbb.org to see what other customers have experienced. And always be sure to get a written contract with the price, materials and timeline. The more detail, the better.

Once started, a rogue contractor may “find” issues that significantly raise the price. If you object, they threaten to walk away and leave a half-finished project. Or they may accept your upfront deposit and then never return to do the job. Following a natural disaster, scammers persuade homeowners to sign over their insurance payment.

Know the law. Work with local businesses that have proper identification, licensing and insurance.

Confirm that your vendor will get related permits and make sure you know who is responsible for what according to your local laws and that your vendor is ready to comply.
