Home improvement scams can take different forms, warns MPD, including scammers going door to door, offering home or driveway repairs.

Madison Police Department looks to stop home improvement scams

The Madison Police Department is encouraging city residents to be on the lookout for home improvement scams in its online “safety tip of the week.”

In the post, MPD warned that warmer temperatures may bring more of these scams.

Home improvement scams can take different forms, according to the post. One involves scammers going door to door, offering home or driveway repairs. Other times, scammers report damage in hard-to-see areas such as air ducts or chimneys.

Scammers will often provide official-looking business documents, references or web links. MPD advises that residents confirm the solicitor has a City of Madison permit on them before making any payments.
