There's a myth about the hard working and good-natured people of rural Kansas that is really comforting. After all, Superman grew up in Kansas.
Sadly, the legend of Midwestern values is often just a talking point or a marketing gimmick.
TURNS OUT SCAMMERS ABOUND IN KANSAS AND THE LATEST TORNADO AFTERMATH HAS BEEN A FESTIVAL OF RIP-OFFS!!!
Here's the word sent our way:
"Talking to with a disaster insurance guy and he seemed totally dejected. Says the feeding frenzy after the Linwood tornado and storm damage is the worst he has ever seen. Sure, there are people preying upon victims but also a lot of people lying through their teeth about what they have (and haven't) lost. Bleh."
Here's a bit of confirmation and a glimpse at the ongoing devastation from KCTV5:
KCTV5: Victims of Linwood tornado keep eyes peeled for scammers
In the meantime, TKC is STILL totally looking for the Picasso lost from my (mom's) basement that was swept away by hurricane force winds that never happened in KC despite the streetcar shut down.

Insurance guys NEVER want to pay out. It's part of their job description.
ReplyDelete^^^true, and "inspectors" that say a roof is destroyed are generally scamming the system and running up damage estimates over twice the value. There's a reason they want the Homeowner to let them coordinate directly with the insurance co, homeowner isn't any wiser until their rates get doubled on the next cycle.
ReplyDeleteThe homeowners may lie, but not nearly as bad as insurance companies.
ReplyDeleteFake news ALERT!!!
ReplyDeleteThose darling Dorothys and those nice families aren't cheating on lost and damaged property claims! A few wicked witches and some fly-by-night monkeys fronting as legit contractors may be doing dirty deeds, but "a lot of people lying through their teeth..." is THE LIE!!!
That flunky claims adjuster better take it back and then scram, or Toto and all his big dawgs buds will bite his sorry ass!!!
^^^WTF is the mess of shit? Do you have a point because that is an unintelligible mess! Use less words, have a point, and be concise.
ReplyDeleteAssbugger syndrome is described as causing anger outbursts, attention deficit, inappropriate remarks, and intense focus on select activities at the exclusion of all others, at times, to the point of neglect of self-care and neccessary functions for daily living.
DeleteOh I am sure many of the scammers are graduates of the Byron Funkhouser School of Fraud.
