Better Business Bureau of Acadiana is alerting home and business owners to a contractor passing himself off as a reputable, local roofing company to solicit work door-to-door.

The real business reported the matter to BBB after receiving phone calls from several duped customers of the fake employee, who performed thousands of dollars worth of substandard or incomplete work.

The issue was also reported to local legal authorities, who are on the lookout for the person.

Consumers reported the man was going door to door claiming to be with a well-known local company, but his truck had no company markings and he wore no uniform with a company logo.

Consumers said they did not realize the fake employee lied about working for the real roofing company until they noticed substandard work and called the real business to complain.

Only after they spoke to actual company representatives did they realize they were taken by a fake who was not actually employed by the business, leaving the consumers with no way to have the shoddy work repaired or file a complaint with authorities.

BBB offers the following signs of a disreputable contractor:

A vehicle without clear company markings and/or out-of-state license plates. An overly aggressive sales pitch and request to begin work immediately. Demand for immediate payment, often in cash. No written contract containing the three-day cooling off period required by law. Inability or reluctance to supply customer references. Failure to show proof of current insurance and licensing when requested.

BBB of Acadiana offers the following tips to avoid this scam:
