Door-to-Door Scams Target Seniors | Seattle News
Description
Door-to-door sales scams are hitting hard in Washington, with over 150 reports and nearly a million dollars lost in just two years. Scammers use high-pressure tactics, pretending to be neighbors or spotting home issues to lure victims into expensive, long-term contracts. Seniors are especially vulnerable, often signing agreements on the spot without reading the fine print. The Better Business Bureau warns: don’t rush—get the salesperson’s details, verify them later, avoid same-day work, and always ask what you’re signing. If it’s on a screen, get a printed or emailed copy. Know the total cost, contract length, recurring fees, and cancellation charges before you commit. More tips at BBB.org.
