Police in Bedford, Massachusetts, want the public to know that there is a group of scammers preying on the elderly. The scammers are promising to clean off roofs, but are demanding thousands in return.
Many New Englander’s are worried about their roofs right now. It may be tempting to do business if confronted with a door-to-door offer, especially with all the snow, but police urge people to use caution.
WAYLAND (CBS) — Since Massachusetts started getting buried under historic levels of snow last month, homeowners have heard one instruction from public safety officials over and over again: Clear your roof.
But police warn that scammers are targeting residents who are trying to keep their roofs from collapsing.
“Recently, residents in other towns have been reporting ‘Roof Snow Removal Scams,’ in which residents are approached and asked if they want snow removed from their roofs,” Wayland police said on Facebook. “They are quoted a price and then after the work is completed, they are given a bill for a much higher price.”
