Scam Artists Prey On Local Seniors
Local officials and the Better Business Bureau warn of illegitimate roofing contractors targeting seniors. Two men posed as roofers and charged a senior $200 after claiming roof leaks. They allegedly offered $2,000 to fix other issues and threatened to sue and contact Medicare if paid. City officials urge residents to verify contractors at City Hall. Brownfield City Council has enacted a $50 annual contractor registration for construction-related firms filing permits at City Hall.
