COLLEGE STATION, Texas Following the damage the freeze brought last week, some people in the community still have broken pipes and ceilings.
In a time of need, it may be easy to fall prey to scams.
“Typically the most common scams are requesting a deposit from a homeowner and not performing the work, just taking the deposit especially in times of trouble like right now where there’s flooding and frozen pipes and things of that nature so you could see a lot of people come out of the woodwork,” said Aggieland Contracting Founder Chris Aversa.
