you can guard yourself from Scammers

dear Editor: when I study the feedback made by way of Mr. Plesser ["A Warning About Handymen," Letter to the Editor, September 30, 2021] it made me a bit upset. I totally be mindful the place he's coming from that there are a lot of scammers out preying on the aged, however that you may wager that no longer enough tips is received to retain information on file from these scammers. each the Pinellas County Sheriff and the Pinellas County development Licensing Board supply public service bulletins, possibly no longer satisfactory, advising all and sundry to check and see if the person estimating any type of fix work is each licensed and insured. here is a free provider. The quickest and simplest way to cease a scammer – earlier than you flip over any money – is to ask for a duplicate of their Pinellas County License AND a certificates of coverage record you, because the homeowner, as the certificates holder on your data. be sure that you just get a tough reproduction to hold, not just them showing you a photograph. this could cease them in their tracks and you'll no longer see or hear from them once again. The licensing board is at all times there to assist you (727-582-3100).

bear in mind in case you didn't make the name to request an estimate from them, it is most likely a rip-off. just say "No, thank you" and shut the door. – Sheila M. Eveland, President Eveland Brothers, Inc.
