A Redmond homeowner lost $298,000 to a roofing scam by men posing as contractors with Irish accents.
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.
The men performed roofing work without a proper inspection and later demanded additional payments for urgent repairs, leading the victim to pay $298,000.
Authorities believe the case fits a pattern of door-to-door scams involving low initial quotes followed by pressure to pay for unnecessary work.
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.
