Scammers have come up with a new scheme of fraud - the victims are the owners of private houses and cottages. Scammers call the owners of suburban real estate to offer at a reduced price to check the roofs and drainage of buildings before snow. However, as soon as the scams get paid in advance, they stop making contact, RIA Novosti writes with reference to experts. If you really need to check the roof before the winter season, experts recommend awarding contracts only to proven companies with a proven reputation. The Russians also urged not to transfer money to rent equipment or materials to personal bank cards of unknown private operators. Photo: Ladya Sharlskaya.
