Redmond警方正在调查一个屋顶骗局, 其中一名教育山街区的房主在12月30日被声称代表承包商的两名爱尔兰口音男子接近后损失了近30万美元。 Redmond police are investigating a roofing scam in which a homeowner in the Education Hill neighborhood lost nearly $300,000 after being approached on December 30 by two men with Irish accents claiming to represent a contractor. 这些男子在没有适当检查的情况下做了屋顶工作,后来要求额外支付紧急修理费,导致受害人支付了298 000美元。 The men performed roofing work without a proper inspection and later demanded additional payments for urgent repairs, leading the victim to pay $298,000. 当局认为,该案符合门到门诈骗的模式,涉及低初始报价,然后施加压力,要求支付不必要的工作。 Authorities believe the case fits a pattern of door-to-door scams involving low initial quotes followed by pressure to pay for unnecessary work. 警察正在敦促居民核查承包商,获得多重估计,在检查前避免全额付款,并要求任何有信息的人在911或425-556-2500时与他们联系。 Police are urging residents to verify contractors, get multiple estimates, and avoid full payments before inspections, and are asking anyone with information to contact them at 911 or 425-556-2500.
