Con artists rarely take a vacation, and springtime is when many scammers become more aggressive at trying to rip off residents. In warmer weather, homeowners are more likely to be targeted by landscaping and home-improvement scammers. Tax season also brings out the scams, with many consumers falling victim to bogus emails claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service and requesting sensitive personal and financial information.
Spring is also the traditional start of home-shopping season and new homeowners are targeted by fraudsters who use this information to create official-looking documents to try to obtain more sensitive financial information.
