Common scams you need to know about
Law enforcement agencies in Florida are warning residents about a series of scams that have resurfaced and are targeting residents.
OKEECHOBEE COUNTY, Fla. - Florida deputies are warning residents of a scam that's going around again that could involve a knock at your door.
The Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office said gypsy-style companies are going door-to-door offering asphalt paving services.
"These companies may try to exchange their services for cash," deputies said.
To protect yourself, deputies recommend dealing with a licensed contractor in Okeechobee County. They're also urging residents to pay attention to details, like if the receipt lacks any key information, if the contractor doesn't have a license or if they ask for payments up front or in cash.
