Inspector Scam

After the home owner has been scammed several times, the con artists may send someone to the home pretending to be the quality control inspector. The inspector claims that all of repairs listed above were performed incorrectly and need to be re-done before the local building inspector finds out and condemns the home. He promises to help the home owner sue the scammers and recoup his or her money later. He secures permission and funds to do the above “repairs” again.
