It's a fact that scam artists prey on the elderly. Whether in person or on the phone, scam artists strike up a conversation and ingratiate themselves. They then offer to do the homeowner a "favor" by offering a discounted repair. While these scammers operate year-round, they are particularly active during the spring and fall when they can push weather-related repairs. Some of the most common scams are driveway resealing, roofing repairs and chimney repairs. If you have an elderly parent, friend, or neighbor we suggest you print out the list below and get it posted next to that person's phone. You could be saving them from an expensive scam.
