That Fainily
Is Back In Town
Nassau County District Attorney Denis Dillon today
warned Nassau County homeowners to be on the alert for a
family of flim-flam artists that come to Long Island every
spring to bilk people out of money. The family, la.st known
as the "Williamsons", number up to 2,000 nationally, and
prey primarily on the elderly. , ,
According to Dillon, "The Williamsons olYer the
homeowner a variety of services, such as termite inspection
and treatment and roof coating, at low prices. HoAVever,
their too good to be true bargains end up being very expensive
for the homeowner." .
The District Attorney said initial contact with the Williamsons
may be through a well dressed and polite child.
Their pitch may be "Our daddy has just done a driveway job
(or roof or termite job) in the neighborhood and he has some
material left over. He can giyeyou a really good deal if you
let him do the job right novy," If you fall for the swindle, you
will end up paying a price that is usually more than a
r-e-putable company would charge for the sarhe work. In
addition, the "top quality" materials that are promised are
usually nothing but a cheap substitute.
Dillon said ahhough they may not use the name Williamson,
there are ways to, distinguish a Williamsbii family
member frbnri an honest businessman. For example, each
year the NViliiatmsbris Is
purchase the newest models. The vian or pick-up truck will
be marked only with a magnetic sign! He wiHask you to pay
cash, or if you write a check, will insist that you gip to the
bank with him to cash it. *
The District Attorney added, "The family members generally
go out in groups to work an entire neighborhood. If
you notice such activity in your area, contact your local
police department. If you hiave any questions regarding a
contractor, cali the County Consumer Affairs Office. AH
contractors rnust be licensed in.Nassau County."
