Police issue warning about housing improvement scams

A series of scams to improve the home – in which an “entrepreneur” will tell you that a house needs repairs, even if not, then the renovation payments were exposed – they were exposed.

Many crime groups involved in such scams have been found to target the elderly living in houses.

The scams “have many things in common with a special fraud, including their targets and methods,” said a senior investigation officer. Special fraud, as it is known, refers to a crime in which frauds involve relatives or public agency officials to deceive victims of their money.
