A closer look at “Roofing Scams Cost UK Homeowners Thousands: Citizens Advice Warns 1 in 10 Reports Are Bogu”, exactly as the source publishes it. Fraudsters posing as roofers are fleecing UK homeowners out of thousands of pounds, with new data from Citizens Advice revealing that one in 10 scam reports involve tradesmen charging for work that is never completed or done to a poor standard.
