Scam Alert

Scenario: A roofing salesman comes out and meets with a homeowner and proceeds to inspect the homeowner's roof. Using a modicum of fear as a selling tactic, the salesman, or if he does not have a sales license, he may refer to himself as "estimator," proceeds to explain that all of the flashings on the home need to be replaced, (whether they need it or not). Or the chimney needs X,Y or Z. While this scenario is a scam within itself, the full scam has yet to play its full self out.
