Be on the lookout! With severe weather season upon us Kansas attorney general Derek Schmidt says there is a specific set of scammers that come along with it. Schmidt says unfortunately this is something that will happen more than you think especially to areas hit hard by damaging weather. He says to not abandoned common sense just with any other large purchase and get multiple bids, if it seems too good to be true it probably is, and to try to stick with local, known companies. If someone comes to your door with a high pressure sales pitch to replace your roof, you are advised to take a little more time and investigate the companies

Schmidt says the best place to check out companies if your feeling skeptical is online. They are required to register with the attorney general's office and will be listed at www.inyourcornerkansas.org.
