FRAUD ALERTS

Beware of Contractor Con Artists. Contractor fraud continues to be a problem in our community; but if you do your homework you can prevent fraud. The District Attorney's Office advises consumers to take the time to thoroughly check out contractors to ensure a safer contracting experience.

Be wary of contractors contacting you door-to-door or by telephone, especially those offering bargains, scare tactics, or immediate service.

Get at least three bids and don’t necessarily choose the lowest bid – you’ll probably

get just what you paid for, and you may not be happy. Get a reliability report from the Better Business Bureau at www.bbb.org. Or contact the Bucks County Consumer Protection 215-348-6060

Pay in full only when 1) the job is complete, 2) you’re satisfied, 3) you’ve received a "lien waiver" showing the contractor has paid sub contractors and suppliers.
