Peru Police Chief Doug Bernabei says watch out for scammers pulling roof repair cons. Anyone doing roof work in Peru has to be registered with City Hall, and similar rules are in effect in many other communities around here.
Bernabei says someone offering to do the job for a lot less than expected or using supposedly leftover materials from another job could be a scammer who will do a poor job or won’t actually do it at all. He says watch out for generic signs on pickup trucks. And also watch out for the ruse where someone lures the homeowner outside while a partner goes inside and looks for valuables.
