A new group of gypsies are targeting the area, according to the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office. The groups offer to do work like roofing and paving for extraordinarily low prices, investigators say. They ask for money up front, but investigators warn, they either do substandard work or none at all. If you are approached by someone like this, the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office asks you to call 911.
The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office offers these easy steps that can help prevent you from becoming a victim. 1. Never pay for work in advance and never pay in cash. 2. Don't let someone you don't know into your home, especially if you haven't called someone about a problem with your home. 3. Always ask for identification, like an occupational license or sales permit.
