Spring Scams: Hamilton Police Warn Homeowners of Door-to-Door Repair Fraud

Hamilton police issue a warning about door-to-door scammers pushing fake home repairs during the spring season. These fraudsters offer free inspections, then exaggerate non-existent problems to pressure homeowners into paying for unnecessary work. Recent cases have increased, with victims losing thousands of dollars for low-quality fixes. Police advise homeowners to be cautious of unsolicited visits, deals too good to be true, sudden price hikes, unmarked trucks, and fake online reviews. To protect yourself, get multiple quotes, check company credentials, avoid large upfront payments, and insist on written contracts. Also, be aware of paving scams as temperatures rise. If you suspect a scam, contact local police immediately.
