The criminals carried out repair work on the gutter of the single-family home without a written contract and demanded a three-digit amount for the improper work.
“Roof Sharks”: High pressure and improper execution
The brazen fraudsters also tried to convince the homeowner that there were other damaged areas on his roof so that they could carry out further improper work and make excessive demands amounting to 4,200 euros. Ultimately, the fraudsters put the homeowner under so much pressure that he paid out 850 euros as wages.
The police warn
The criminal police in Heppenheim (Commissariat 23) have started investigations on suspicion of fraud in connection with the “roof sharks” phenomenon and are urgently warning against dubious door-to-door sales.
Since it cannot be ruled out that the criminals have already advertised their work to other homeowners, the police are asking for reports from other people affected by calling 06252/7060.
