I routinely get texts from s spoofed phone # with scammers who say they have a property for sale (or recently purchased) & need [ insert remodeling services here ] & are "out of town for ___ months." I check the address via MLS & track down the listing agent to notify them their property is being used as part of a,scam & forward screenshots. The scam involves sending "added money" to "!nowhere contractor that is owed money for other work" or "You asked for $ 5,000⁰⁰, here's $ 6,000⁰⁰ for any possible overages & send me back the extra." This has been going on for a decade or more & when it was a new / unknown scam, I ONE TIME site inspected a low value roof E of 35 / S of Stassnety (Austin) & called the realtor on the sign out front to discuss... that's how I recognized this was a fresh scam idea. I had recently done 4 roofs within the prior 6 months & in the same ½ mile radius... initially did not suspect there was a problem.
