'Tis the Season....for Scams

Now that the warm dry weather is here, homeowners are starting to spruce up their houses, adding a coat of paint or making repairs.

And with thousands of homes damaged by the recent floods, more residents than usual will likely be looking for help with repairs.

That increased demand makes the situation ripe for homeowners to be ripped off by scammers posing as contractors.

Senior Assistant Attorney General Richard Head runs the State's Consumer Protection Bureau.

He tells NHPR's Mark Bevis that his office hasn't received any complaints so far from homeowners trying to repair damage from last weeks flood.

But he adds it's still early...and he says if any scams are going to happen they're probably happening right now.
