(WBBM NEWSRADIO) - They say, “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.” So, protect yourself for whatever the weather may bring.
March 4-8 is Severe Weather Preparedness Week in Illinois.
Whenever spring storms hit, storm-chasing scammers will soon follow, preying on emotional homeowners in their times of need and repairs.
As a part of your storm planning, it’s always wise to create a contact list of trusted contractors in case you need emergency repairs.
Storm chasers could be scammers or substandard contractors who could come calling or knocking at your door, hoping to use high-pressure tactics to have you pay upfront or sign papers without time to think.
Never hire or give someone money before checking ratings, reviews, or references.
