Watch Out for Scams

Beware the “door-to-door” contractor salesman.  If someone comes knocking at your door, offers to do work for you at what seems like a very reasonable price and tells you that he can get financing for you if you simply sign this handy paperwork he has for, he may be a scam artist.  Never:

• Sign anything that is blank and/or you haven’t read and understood completely.
• Use your contractor to find funding for a home improvement project.  You should always shop around for your own financing to get the best rates from the most reliable sources.
• Sign over your deed to anyone else.  Consult a professional before you sign anything.
• Give in to pressure to sign any document.
• Say “yes” on a home equity loan if you aren’t sure you will be able to afford the monthly payments.
