We have been made aware of a new scam. Someone calling from this number and being very aggressive in his sales tactics is calling people in our area. They are saying the Citizen has roof damage and will come to repair it. Again the caller has been described as very aggressive. Do not give financial information over the phone. Do not call them back. Protect your info, share with others.
