BBB warns of potential scammers after weather damage
As autumn storms push
through Oregon, this is the time
for scammers to blow in as
storm season approaches.
Better Business Bureau
(BBB), serving the Northwest,
is warning homeowners to use
caution when hiring help to
rebuild and repair after the
storm.
Before hiring anyone to
make repairs, consumers are
urged to:
• Research a contractor
online at bbb.org. BBB
Accredited contractors are
The Perfect Timeless Gift

Volume One
pany’s name, address and
phone numbers.
• Never pay full prices
upfront. Instead, pay for half at
the beginning of the job and the
other half after repairs are com-
pleted satisfactorily.
• Don’t fall victim to high-
pressure tactics. Be sure to ask
for a business card and follow-
up later, if necessary.
Storm victims should be sus-
picious of vague or hesitant
answers. They should not
accept work from companies
that don’t offer contracts.
Anyone who has fallen vic-
tim to these or other scams are
encouraged to report their
experience to Better Business
Bureau at 206-431-2222 or at
bbb.org.
