Honing The Eyes Of An Eagle – Seeing From A Distance

Home: The Best Wonder of the World!

For many of us, our homes are the undisputed “best wonders of the world.” Wherever we go returning to our residences remain central on our minds. On the overall, there is no other place on earth which offers quite enough for us by way of comfort and convenience, except of course, an even more secure and enjoyable place to be.

On occasion, for the sake of enhancing and improving the benefits of home, we do whatever we possibly can. Whether it is a new driveway or a new lawn, if we are able, we typically visit our neighborhood home store or equivalent for what we are going to need for our special DIY projects. Depending on our abilities we would much rather do as much of our own home-improving without calling in contractors.

Nevertheless, for the majority of us, for certain home projects (interior or exterior), we find that we must connect with people better versed than we. There are just some things better left to “trained professionals.” But where will we find them? Some find them at the home store.

Meeting at the Home Store

Approximately 1 month from the date of this article, a contractor was arrested for defrauding a 72-year-old private home head. Reportedly, she met him at a popular home store. According to the story, somehow they struck up a conversation about her home improvement needs. There were things she needed done around the house and she required someone who was a “trained professional.” Individuals who say they are “contractors” are regularly regarded in that category.

Although the report is not clear as far as when the deal was made between the elder resident and contractor, it suffices to say she trusted him enough to give him the projects (There were a few). https://dsp.delaware.gov/2019/...

2 Months Later

Flashing ahead, we find that the resident in question experienced no improvements around her home. Reportedly, it was about 2 months into the contract, but the individual she had so much confidence in did not deliver on his word. This, in spite of the fact that according to reports, she delved out several checks to him in that expanse of time amounting $6,000.

Inevitably, the contractor in question was arrested last February for this offense against the senior private home decision maker in question. Yet, not only that, but this contractor reportedly had a similar, separate charge to answer to from another resident.

Needless to say, there are probably more victims of this man who either have come forward during this time or will. Corrupt individuals as these normally have more than one victim.

Summary

We may want to seriously ask ourselves a few questions: How do these things happen? Why are most victims of reported home improvement fraud able to get themselves into these situations? How can we prevent ourselves from being in the same?

There is an old adage: “Knowledge is power.” However, this saying is inconsistent with the reality of power. This is so, since when we know of pitfalls in hiring contractors without first conducting a thorough reputation check on them, but we forego that protocol, it means nothing. There is no “power” because there is no execution of that potential. Hence, we can know as much as we would like about home defense against these predators, but if we do not implement safeguards we know about, we are then “powerless.” What we know is then of no significance.
