Spring is a Time for Scams
Spring is a time for renewal and growth, but it’s also a time when scammers often target unsuspecting residents with seasonal scams. The Better Business Bureau is warning residents to be vigilant and take steps to protect themselves from these scams.
What to Watch Out For
There are several types of scams to be aware of, including lawn care and gardening scams, driveway paving scams, and home improvement scams. These scams can be particularly convincing, with scammers using high-pressure tactics to get you to sign up for services you may not need.
Lawn Care and Gardening Scams
Lawn care and gardening scams are common in the spring, as homeowners prepare their yards for the new season. Scammers may promise to provide top-notch services at a low price, but often disappear after taking payment.
- Be wary of companies that require payment upfront.
- Research the company thoroughly before signing up for services.
- Check the company’s rating and reviews on the BBB website.
Driveway Paving Scams
Driveway paving scams are also prevalent in the spring, as homeowners look to improve their property’s curb appeal. Scammers may offer discounted prices or use high-pressure sales tactics to get you to sign up for services.
